Oh, yeah, maybe.
00:01:35
DeeBo
But I just vividly โ yeah, I think I just vividly remember โ yeah, but he is a cowboy, right?
00:01:35
Steve-O
It opens with a wizard. The cowboy man talks to a wizard in the beginning.
00:01:38
Dick VanMeat
Mm-mm-mm. Uh-huh.
00:01:42
DeeBo
Like the main character.
00:01:42
Steve-O
He's a cowboy man, but the in the very introduction of the game, wizard says, oh, you have to blah, blah, blah, and stuff like that.
00:01:49
werthersoriginal
Look at my hologram balls!
00:01:52
DeeBo
Stop holographic โ they're called hard light.
00:01:55
Steve-O
In my memory, for some reason, that wizard was played by the guy who does the SpongeBob voice.
00:02:06
werthersoriginal
Look at you!
00:02:07
werthersoriginal
Play my game! I don't know if it's good SpongeBob. I'm sorry. I'm not that guy.
00:02:11
werthersoriginal
He's talented.
00:02:12
Steve-O
Could you do Patrick?
00:02:13
werthersoriginal
Okay, I can do better.
00:02:16
werthersoriginal
Hey, SpongeBob!
00:02:18
werthersoriginal
Yeah, there you go. Gotta get the timber right.
Cultural Relevance of TV Shows
00:02:23
werthersoriginal
i don't I don't know anything about that
00:02:24
DeeBo
DePatrick. Or not. Fuck me.
00:02:26
Steve-O
You just did that.
00:02:27
Dick VanMeat
Do Squidward. Do Squidward.
00:02:28
DeeBo
Yeah, that's what was going to say.
00:02:28
werthersoriginal
I don't even know. John, i don't even know what he sounds like. That's how little that is.
00:02:34
werthersoriginal
That is as little as I know about that show.
00:02:36
Dick VanMeat
Just say Nosferatu.
00:02:36
Steve-O
Could you do Mr. Krabs?
00:02:38
werthersoriginal
I don't even know what he sounds like. I'll be honest.
00:02:40
DeeBo
Can you do with Sally the Squirrel?
00:02:40
werthersoriginal
I'm bright.
00:02:42
Dick VanMeat
oh um yeah, Sally is, ah that's Owen's favorite character.
00:02:46
Dick VanMeat
Sally, it's not Sally, Sandy, Sandy Cheeks.
00:02:46
werthersoriginal
I got...
00:02:49
werthersoriginal
Sandy Jinks.
00:02:51
werthersoriginal
Is that her name?
00:02:51
DeeBo
he Isn't that fucking bold?
00:02:52
werthersoriginal
All right.
00:02:55
werthersoriginal
I got to watch this show. This is pretty...
00:02:57
DeeBo
I gotta watch this Spongebob I keep hearing about.
00:02:59
werthersoriginal
It's pretty subversive. It's very subversive. I didn't know how subversive it was.
00:03:02
DeeBo
Yeah, didn't realize how horny Spong Bob was?
00:03:05
werthersoriginal
I guess not. Like, people make these references. Obviously, younger people at my job. And I'm... It falls on death years for me. I'm like... Oh, okay. Fine.
00:03:13
Dick VanMeat
and you're And you're just like, have you guys seen Eraserhead?
00:03:15
werthersoriginal
about it later.
00:03:16
Dick VanMeat
And they're like, no.
00:03:18
Steve-O
Chris is like, get back to work.
00:03:18
werthersoriginal
oh okay fine
00:03:21
werthersoriginal
we'll talk
00:03:22
werthersoriginal
we'll talk about it later
00:03:23
Dick VanMeat
without Without Eraserhead, Spongebob wouldn't exist. Did you just say that?
00:03:28
Steve-O
Will someone clean the shit out of the toilet?
00:03:33
werthersoriginal
I know if I brought up Nosferatu, they'd probably know what that is because of SpongeBob.
00:03:37
Steve-O
Oh, that's that sexy movie from last year.
00:03:39
werthersoriginal
Well, no, they probably know it because of SpongeBob because I feel like that's more culturally relevant than anything else.
00:03:39
Dick VanMeat
That sexy fairytale movie.
00:03:45
Steve-O
i You might be right.
00:03:48
werthersoriginal
It's the Simpsons when we were growing up, right? That's, it's the same level of reference, sure, reference, sure.
00:03:51
Dick VanMeat
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
The Evolution of Animated Comedies
00:03:56
werthersoriginal
That I hear. And you know what's funny? It kind of skipped Family Guy, but like it started a little bit, but Family Guy never really caught on, I feel like, like the way people reference Spongebob.
00:04:07
Steve-O
There was a point where like family guy was kind of getting there.
00:04:11
Steve-O
And then i think there was immediate family guy, like saturation.
00:04:15
werthersoriginal
Yeah, I think the cancellation really killed it.
00:04:17
DeeBo
i remember I remember loving Family Guy and then it was canceled. And then didn't it, like, it was on Adult Swing or something?
00:04:23
Steve-O
The DVDs did well. The DVDs popped off and then they were like, we're bringing it back.
00:04:28
DeeBo
And then it's been around forever.
00:04:28
werthersoriginal
I don't think there was enough material at the time. Like there is with SpongeBob and Simpsons.
00:04:34
werthersoriginal
Like there are so many fucking SpongeBob episodes, man.
00:04:38
DeeBo
Yeah, that's right.
00:04:38
Steve-O
They kind of arrested development in it where it's like the first three seasons of arrested development. You can quote all the time. Like you still hear people reference that those seasons, but everything after that is just like,
00:04:51
Steve-O
and We don't really...
00:04:52
werthersoriginal
Is SpongeBob.
00:04:53
Steve-O
ah Arrested Development.
00:04:55
werthersoriginal
Right. Okay. You're, but you're comparing it to SpongeBob.
00:04:58
Steve-O
I'm comparing it to...
00:04:58
DeeBo
The first three seasons SpongeBob were dope.
00:05:00
Steve-O
I'm comparing it to Family Guy.
00:05:01
werthersoriginal
Oh, Family Guy. Yeah, no, 100%. Like, I feel like that's, it started off really, really, like, hitting the zeitgeist, and I just, the cancellation kind of muted it a bit, you know?
00:05:14
werthersoriginal
Like, it could have reached that Simpson level where we were constantly quoting it, like, at school and stuff.
00:05:21
Steve-O
When it came back, people were like, oh, like, we kind of see the the formula of how this show works.
00:05:27
werthersoriginal
Right? People got sick of it because they watched the DVDs over and over again and watched Adult Swim reruns over and over again.
00:05:34
Steve-O
Hey, what if Knight Rider fucked a dog or something? i don't know. It was like stuff like that.
00:05:40
werthersoriginal
I do think Simpsons and Spongebob are more clever, though.
00:05:44
werthersoriginal
They just seem more interesting.
00:05:45
Steve-O
I mean, that's the thing. South Park did that episode against Family Guy where it was like,
00:05:49
DeeBo
He's called him out.
00:05:50
Steve-O
It was just manatees like pushing balls into a thing. Mm-hmm.
00:05:55
DeeBo
Yeah, I remember that.
00:05:55
werthersoriginal
Yeah. ah The dumb cut-to's and references that they always...
00:06:01
werthersoriginal
And then didn't they do it with Mohammed? Like, that was the whole plot of the episode, that they were going to show Mohammed on Family Guy.
00:06:09
werthersoriginal
And everybody... All the Arab countries are ready to, like, kill everybody. And then they did it, and they were like, well, that was stupid.
00:06:17
werthersoriginal
And they didn't end up doing it, because they just thought of how dumb this show is.
00:06:22
Steve-O
It was like a weird like because like they brought in Simpsons for that too because they're like Simpsons did it because like the whole thing was like South Park like had done that so many times.
00:06:26
werthersoriginal
Yeah. yeah
00:06:31
werthersoriginal
Oh, that's a different episode. That's a different episode.
00:06:34
werthersoriginal
Yeah. Cause that's the one with butters when he's a, you know, his evil arc arch villain character.
00:06:41
werthersoriginal
And he was trying to think of different ways.
00:06:43
werthersoriginal
Yeah. Professor chaos. He's trying to think of different ways to like, fuck with the city. And his sidekick kept saying like the Simpsons did it.
00:06:49
Steve-O
oh right, right. Okay. Yeah, that is that one.
00:06:52
werthersoriginal
And he's, And he's like, oh, I know what I'll do. is like i'll I'll trap them in snow and only the plows will save them. And he's like, Simpsons did it! You know, that kind of thing.
00:07:01
werthersoriginal
um Yeah, they they, I mean, Simpsons, I think, was not ah as open a target. Because they they that episode was them almost admitting like, oh, this show is so fucking prolific that they've done everything in television.
00:07:20
werthersoriginal
You know? Whereas when they made fun of Family Guy, it just felt like them. Like, this is stupid.
00:07:25
werthersoriginal
i don't know why it's so popular right now.
00:07:28
Steve-O
It is strange where it's like Simpsons, you know, to Spongebob. What would the Spongebob to whatever is now, I guess, that everybody references?
00:07:38
werthersoriginal
I don't know. I thought... To be honest, I think it is... well it's Skibbiddy Toilet, obviously. But, I mean, let's...
00:07:45
Dick VanMeat
Yup. Hell yeah.
00:07:48
werthersoriginal
Let's break that down a little bit because that I feel like is perfect because attention spans have gotten so short that that's really all that's capable of is just the only thing that matters is the meme of whatever is in the art that they're enjoying.
00:08:05
werthersoriginal
Like it's over in seconds.
00:08:06
Dick VanMeat
It's over in seconds. And it's in your head.
00:08:09
Dick VanMeat
And it's inceptioned into your mind forever.
00:08:11
werthersoriginal
it create It creates the meme. it's It continues the meme. Like it's a meme that just doesn't end. and Whereas like when we used to watch shows, there were memes there, but it was hidden around like plot and character.
00:08:25
werthersoriginal
like Because they were trying to tell like a complete story. yeah
00:08:28
Steve-O
You'd sit down with your family and you'd watch your show you get a few giggles and you'd
00:08:36
werthersoriginal
And it told you a story, usually. And it had a beginning, a middle, and an end.
00:08:39
werthersoriginal
And it it functioned like a narrative. But that's not what people want.
00:08:44
Steve-O
That's the thing, because like ah major portion of what i watched in my youth, it felt like they were all kind of in like, like blocks.
00:08:55
Steve-O
Like I remember waking up and I would watch poke ah like Sailor Moon, Pokemon before school.
00:09:01
werthersoriginal
Ah, yes.
00:09:03
Steve-O
But then I feel like I would come home and around dinner time, it was Simpsons, Simpsons, Seinfeld, Seinfeld. And I remember watching the hell out of that.
00:09:13
werthersoriginal
Yep, me too, man.
00:09:13
Steve-O
And if you're a real, real deviant, you watch some ah Home Improvement.
00:09:21
werthersoriginal
I don't know how that fucking thing became popular, goddamn...
00:09:26
Steve-O
Dude, it's because it was like ah kind of in that block.
00:09:32
werthersoriginal
And Devin, he pulled what you always want to do, what I what i call the trifecta. Tim Allen had the highest rated television show, the highest grossing film, and the number one best-selling book all within the same year.
00:09:46
DeeBo
that's what i That's what I shoot for every day. It's a video.
00:09:48
Steve-O
There was there was a portion of Devin's life where he was kind of the JTT of school.
00:09:48
werthersoriginal
a year, too, before.
00:09:55
werthersoriginal
a shame, because he just got arrested for beating his wife.
00:09:57
Dick VanMeat
It frosted tits.
00:09:57
DeeBo
Well, no, was that the older brother?
00:09:59
Dick VanMeat
What, Jonathan Taylor Thomas?
00:10:01
DeeBo
No, i thought that was the older brother.
00:10:01
werthersoriginal
Oh, I thought that was JTT.
00:10:03
werthersoriginal
Never mind.
00:10:04
werthersoriginal
Okay, all right.
00:10:05
DeeBo
Wait, there were two sons or were there three?
00:10:05
werthersoriginal
You're right.
00:10:07
Dick VanMeat
There were three. There was...
00:10:09
DeeBo
Who the f... I'm forgetting. There's the oldest one, JTT, and then the other one.
00:10:15
werthersoriginal
Yeah, the other one was like, he always he was like the goth kid for a while.
00:10:18
Dick VanMeat
It was Tum Tum.
00:10:20
werthersoriginal
to dumb Was really?
00:10:21
werthersoriginal
I thought what you saying is, yeah.
00:10:22
Dick VanMeat
No, Tum Tum's from Three Ninjas, dude.
00:10:23
DeeBo
That's what I mean, but I thought it was the same actor. I know it's the...
00:10:28
Dick VanMeat
No, it's not. That's the...
00:10:29
DeeBo
Don't speak to me if I was there when it was written, boy.
00:10:31
werthersoriginal
God damn.
00:10:32
Dick VanMeat
i was i was born in the darkness.
00:10:35
DeeBo
born in the tum-tum doctors. Randy Taylor, Jill Taylor, Brad Taylor, Mark Taylor. That was it.
00:10:43
Dick VanMeat
Tom, Tom, Tom, Taylor.
00:10:44
werthersoriginal
Did we all hear, see, did we all watch Three Ninjas as children?
00:10:47
Steve-O
Oh yeah, oh yeah dude.
00:10:47
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, of course, dude.
00:10:49
werthersoriginal
ah we're all We're all on the same boat here.
00:10:51
DeeBo
and we And that's when I thought X-Lax was like a chemical agent because I was like, I'll kill you.
00:10:51
werthersoriginal
Dude, yeah. Yeah. it
00:10:57
DeeBo
I killed those those goons.
00:11:00
werthersoriginal
There were so many X-Lex jokes when we were growing up, man.
00:11:03
DeeBo
Yeah, that and quicksand, dude.
00:11:04
werthersoriginal
And it is...
00:11:06
Dick VanMeat
With dumb Dumb and Dumber, Dumb and Dumber had X-Lax.
00:11:07
werthersoriginal
Dump, dump. Yes, it did.
00:11:10
werthersoriginal
And that's super dangerous, too. Like, you can kill somebody.
00:11:12
Dick VanMeat
What, to drink that much X-Lax?
00:11:13
werthersoriginal
Yeah, absolutely. You could literally dehydrate.
00:11:16
Steve-O
We were all jokes back in the day. No, no actual science, all jokes.
00:11:20
werthersoriginal
They don't do it anymore because people did it, and I think they had to go to the hospital.
00:11:24
Dick VanMeat
They're of bringing three ninjas back. well
00:11:27
Dick VanMeat
Give me the over-under before they, like how much time was going to pass from this day on before they bring three ninjas back.
00:11:32
werthersoriginal
I think that, John, I think that dies with us.
00:11:36
Dick VanMeat
They're not bringing it back.
00:11:36
werthersoriginal
If honest.
00:11:37
Dick VanMeat
they got Dude, they're bringing it back.
00:11:39
werthersoriginal
If I'm really honest with you, i don't think so.
00:11:41
Dick VanMeat
and Three Ninjas remake. I'm going to just type in and see what happens.
00:11:45
werthersoriginal
What do got?
00:11:46
Dick VanMeat
No official reports.
00:11:50
werthersoriginal
that John, that's being buried in your sarcophagus with you. that's It's never come seeing the light of day.
00:11:55
DeeBo
Is it even on the Criterion Collection?
00:11:55
Dick VanMeat
But it's like, but like you see, no.
00:11:58
Dick VanMeat
No, but like you you see the success of Cobra Kai and it's like how long until some studio just thinks that this is going make
00:12:01
werthersoriginal
Well, that's true.
00:12:05
Dick VanMeat
like free money, you know?
Nostalgia for 90s Films
00:12:08
DeeBo
Yeah, well, but that movie kind of crashed and burned, didn't it?
00:12:08
werthersoriginal
guess. Man, anything's possible.
00:12:12
werthersoriginal
Oh, the Karate Kid.
00:12:13
DeeBo
The Karate Kid movie.
00:12:16
DeeBo
Yeah, which is like, you're right, you're right, you're right.
00:12:17
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, but Cobra Kai didn't crash and burn.
00:12:21
werthersoriginal
Well, would you watch would kids watch a Three Ninjas TV show like that? I probably would, right? Sounds pretty cool.
00:12:26
DeeBo
Yeah, but that means...
00:12:26
Dick VanMeat
No, but like the 40-year-old middle-aged men would.
00:12:31
Dick VanMeat
That's the thing. Yeah.
00:12:31
DeeBo
No, I think the problem is is truly just like...
00:12:33
werthersoriginal
I don't like that guy. don't like nostalgia, man. I fear him.
00:12:36
DeeBo
It's just like you need to have fight scenes and it's you can't have good fight scenes if you're dealing with children. You know what I mean?
00:12:46
Steve-O
Well, make the three children grown up.
00:12:46
Dick VanMeat
ah well Yeah, so...
00:12:48
Steve-O
They're grown-ass men.
00:12:48
Dick VanMeat
Listen, I think... I think Chad Stahelski could do it. He can he can direct these guys to do it.
00:12:53
werthersoriginal
Tum Tum is Jack Black.
00:12:55
Steve-O
They're just called three ninjas, right?
00:12:57
Dick VanMeat
yeah i think they're just called three ninjas.
00:12:58
werthersoriginal
He had three ninjas...
00:12:58
DeeBo
But the whole point is they're children, Steve.
00:12:59
Steve-O
It doesn't story three ninja kids.
00:13:01
Steve-O
What if they were they were three children who were dealing with having beaten up so many people, including Hulk Hogan?
00:13:08
werthersoriginal
ah yeah they gotta go to therapy now like they're they're really fucked up because they just solve all their problems with violence
00:13:16
DeeBo
Yeah. You know, what's crazy is, is, is I'm looking at the, what is this?
00:13:17
Steve-O
a magical Game Gear?
00:13:21
DeeBo
the Yeah. I'm looking at like a still of three ninjas.
00:13:23
werthersoriginal
wait a magical game gear that's a different isn't that a different movie yeah Steve I know exactly what you're talking about Rob snyder Schneider is in that movie

00:13:35
werthersoriginal
Oh, what the hell is that, Steve? Gah!
00:13:39
Steve-O
I'm looking it up. I'm looking it up.

DeeBo
A magical game here?

00:15:01
werthersoriginal
Yeah, he looks weird in that movie.
00:15:04
werthersoriginal
I mean, not to say he looks normal in any other film, but it's just strange, more strange than newer.
00:15:07
DeeBo
Yeah. Oh, it had Rufio in it. Okay, right?
00:15:11
werthersoriginal
Yes, yes, he was one of the Surf Ninjas.
00:15:17
DeeBo
Wait, wait. Was he? No, no, no. Wait. He was the kid from... Not Rufio. It was ah the kid in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.
00:15:26
werthersoriginal
He had the magical game gear.
00:15:28
DeeBo
Yeah, the pizza guy. That's it.
00:15:30
werthersoriginal
oh yeah, i think you're right.
00:15:33
werthersoriginal
You got to get on this then. Do some research, will you?
00:15:35
Steve-O

00:15:53
DeeBo
Yeah? yeah I'll link you, buddy!
00:15:58
Steve-O
I see where the bread is buttered for the children ninja movies.
00:16:02
werthersoriginal
I mean, these are both direct to video.
00:16:04
Steve-O
yeah I can't believe there was a point in time where people were like worried about like ninjas in the 80s.
00:16:05
DeeBo
Was Three Ninjas direct to me yet?
00:16:12
Steve-O
Do you like the fact that like they banned ninja the word ninja in the UK? Yeah.
00:16:16
werthersoriginal
They were the villains in so many films in the early nineties, man.
00:16:20
Steve-O
They were legitimately afraid that people were going to turn into ninjas.
00:16:23
Steve-O
Like, I think the beginning of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, like that original movie from the 90s, I think that was like a legit concern that people had.
00:16:32
werthersoriginal
Wait, you didn't fall down the ninja hole?
00:16:35
werthersoriginal
Wow. You're more willpower than me.
00:16:38
Steve-O
Yeah, you were smoking cigarettes and playing arcade games every night, Chris.
00:16:42
werthersoriginal
Yeah, there was a whole there was a whole period of time where nobody knew where I was for years.
00:16:42
Steve-O
Well, I was at home studying.
00:16:48
werthersoriginal
And it was during my ninja phase.
00:16:48
DeeBo
Wait, was Rob Schneider also a Serv Ninja?
00:16:51
Steve-O
I think he was like, yeah.
00:16:53
werthersoriginal
Comic relief, Devin.
00:16:54
Dick VanMeat
He's like the the the mascot.
00:16:55
werthersoriginal
Take that as you will. Take that as you will, buddy.
00:16:58
DeeBo
nor It's just weird that I typed Surf Ninjas Fall Movie and then I got the Three Ninjas Fall Movie on YouTube.
00:17:04
Steve-O
they're this They're the same DNA.
00:17:06
DeeBo
They're not the same.
00:17:06
Steve-O
There's a lot of DNA.
00:17:08
werthersoriginal
I think that I i was obsessed with ninjas at some point too.
00:17:13
werthersoriginal
Cause I watched all these fucking movies that started it.
00:17:14
DeeBo
Yeah, it's called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
00:17:15
Steve-O
There is a lot of ninjas.
00:17:18
werthersoriginal
Obviously lit the fire.
00:17:19
Steve-O
Those a little ah like quarter machines. you could get those little rubber ninjas.
00:17:24
werthersoriginal
Yeah, dude, there was, it was a lot of ninja media directed at us.
00:17:29
werthersoriginal
And then the early two thousands pirates.
00:17:33
Steve-O
yeah Pirates of the Caribbean.
00:17:35
werthersoriginal
He big old time pirates. Everybody wanted to be a pirate.
00:17:38

werthersoriginal
What are we now? Everybody wants to be a piece of shit.
00:17:43
Steve-O
Oh, I think you're right.
00:17:44
DeeBo
Everybody wants to be a John wick ballerina.
Anticipation for James Gunn's Superman

00:18:00
DeeBo
Yeah. Maybe not like crazy good.
00:18:01
werthersoriginal
It's just... The issue, I think, is they...
00:18:03
Dick VanMeat
These... These means mid... These means mid to these days, though.
00:18:06
werthersoriginal
they were They were afraid to market it properly because the first cut of the movie was abysmal and they had to bring in the director of John Wick to like fix the fucking movie.
00:18:18
werthersoriginal
And I think they just reshot. You told me this, Devin. They like reshot like seventy eighty percent of it right?
00:18:23
DeeBo
Something like that. Yeah.
00:18:25
DeeBo
Certified fresh at 75%.
00:18:32
werthersoriginal

00:19:07
Steve-O

00:19:08
Dick VanMeat

00:19:08
DeeBo
what's. yeah. we're
00:19:14
Dick VanMeat
like Like Ethan Hunt does in Mission Impossible.
00:19:17
werthersoriginal
I really want to keep pushing the fact that that all of our big action heroes have to be put in a box.
00:19:21
werthersoriginal
Like, they don't die.
00:19:23
werthersoriginal
They just have to be put in a box and, like, chains shut.
00:19:27
Steve-O
Ethan Hunt, Indiana Jones.
00:19:30
werthersoriginal
They can't get out. they That's because they can't die They can't die.
00:19:33
Dick VanMeat

Go in your box.
00:19:41
DeeBo
ah We got Get Ready, How to Train Your Dragon. and
00:19:48
DeeBo
Tell you, brother. And I think an old school traditional rom-com the material.
00:19:55
Dick VanMeat
Oh, Materialist is is next week, too.
00:19:55
werthersoriginal
oh the the materialists you know people thought people thought that trailer was a joke because they played it in front of the friendship movie and everyone was like this is the the narration because act
00:19:59
Dick VanMeat
I kind of want to see that.
00:20:08
DeeBo
That's where I saw it. Yeah, no, it's like old school, like, meets a man in cheese, and she moves between love and real life.
00:20:16
Dick VanMeat
No, think... you think that's You think that's part of the design, though? I don't think that's...
00:20:20
Dick VanMeat
and i think that's intentional.
00:20:22
DeeBo
Well, I mean, I don't know if they're like,
00:20:22
werthersoriginal
I guess.
Rom-Com Skepticism and Nostalgia
00:20:24
DeeBo
it needs it's like tongue in cheek.
00:20:24
Dick VanMeat
this ah Did you guys watch Past Lives? This is the director that did Past Lives, right?
00:20:28
werthersoriginal
No, I get that.
00:20:30
werthersoriginal
I just... um
00:20:31
Dick VanMeat
So I can't see that director like just doing a fucking like Hallmark... tier rom-com. you know like That's why.
00:20:38
werthersoriginal
maybe oh
00:20:40
Dick VanMeat
i Dude, did you watch Past Lives? like There's no way that director has it in her.
00:20:43
werthersoriginal
I didn't. I really, didn't. I'll be honest with you, I have not. I don't really know much of her work.
00:20:47
Dick VanMeat
That movie's like, it's ah it's cerebral.
00:20:50
werthersoriginal
But that trailer... That trailer was giving me fucking little...
00:20:54
Dick VanMeat
Maybe you're getting baited, Chris.
00:20:55
werthersoriginal
little It was giving me Little Italy vibes.
00:20:56
Dick VanMeat
Maybe you're getting baited.
00:21:01
werthersoriginal
That's why I was like, I don't think so.
00:21:03
DeeBo
well, this is the thing, right?
00:21:03
Dick VanMeat
maybe you're getting baited
00:21:04
DeeBo
It's either ah like a throwback, right? Which has its own charm or there is some subversive level to it, which, which still kind of makes me interested.
00:21:12
Dick VanMeat
It's a horror movie. Yeah, it's a psychological horror movie.
00:21:13
werthersoriginal
It's a horror movie. What?
00:21:15
DeeBo
i'm not going to lie.
00:21:16
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, no, no, I'm serious. I'm not even joking. like that I don't know if that that's not the vibe that the trailer gave me, but it's like I wouldn't be surprised if it turns into like something insane.
00:21:23
werthersoriginal
I will be honest with you fellows. I have absolute negative interest for this. i um I do not.
00:21:28
Dick VanMeat
You just hate Dakota Johnson because she's a Nepo baby.
00:21:31
Dick VanMeat
Because she's a Nepo baby.
00:21:31
werthersoriginal
That's part of it. That's part of it. But no, I hate her because she's a terrible actress. But the other part of it is I hate these movies. like i don't I don't want them to come back.
00:21:41
werthersoriginal
like I have no have no interest in this.
00:21:44
DeeBo
Chris, here's he sees rom-com and he sees red.
00:21:47
werthersoriginal
I really do. i have no... i have a bias.
00:21:50
Dick VanMeat
No, Chris is like, Chris sees rom-com, but he wants rom-com.
00:21:50
werthersoriginal
I have a legitimate bias.
00:21:54
werthersoriginal
Well, yeah.
00:21:54
Dick VanMeat
That's what he wants.
00:21:56
werthersoriginal
I mean, why not?
00:21:56
Dick VanMeat
He wants a room-com.
00:21:56
DeeBo
The only romance he sees...
00:21:57
Dick VanMeat
He wants a room-com. He wants a room-com.
00:21:58
werthersoriginal
Let's do it. If we're going to a rom-com, let's get pretty gooner about it, is what I always say.
00:22:00
Dick VanMeat
yeah Yeah, let's let's make it a rom-com.
00:22:04
Dick VanMeat
Make it a rom-com.
00:22:06
DeeBo
i need to see I need to see all of it.
00:22:06
Dick VanMeat
Let's be real.
00:22:10
Dick VanMeat
I mean, is Dakota Johnson, right?
00:22:11
Dick VanMeat
I mean, like, what?
00:22:12
werthersoriginal
That's the only thing I would be at all interested in seeing her, is nothing.
00:22:16
Dick VanMeat
Man, no reviews yet. This is interesting.
00:22:18
DeeBo
Is he just on Pornhub, Chris?
00:22:19
werthersoriginal
Yeah, basically.
00:22:19
Dick VanMeat
people just People are scared.
00:22:21
DeeBo
I don't want to see you listen.
00:22:22
Dick VanMeat
People are scared.
00:22:23
DeeBo
Unless I hear that sick-ass drum beat. Other than that, i don't want to hear your face.
00:22:28
werthersoriginal
All right. So two movies I don't want to see.
00:22:30
Dick VanMeat
um What else?
00:22:31
DeeBo
Hey, you know what i you know what I saw, though?
00:22:33
Dick VanMeat
Dude, the Superman superman tickets didn't go on sale What the fuck? um I was going to buy them date minute zero.
00:22:41
werthersoriginal
I'm excited.
00:22:42
werthersoriginal
That's just it's giving me really good vibes, man.
00:22:44
Dick VanMeat
I read that um that they were originally going to do... like an episodic, like, um, like a weird different, like, parts of it, but now it's like a, it's like a, it's a chronological order movie now.
00:23:00
Dick VanMeat
Like, it's, it's, it's, they changed it.
00:23:01
werthersoriginal
Interesting. Yeah. I want to, I, I, I doubt the, the, the validity of that. I don't think that's true.
00:23:09
Dick VanMeat
You think, but yeah, I feel like a lot of people are just lying about random shit because they don't want this movie to do well, too.
00:23:15
werthersoriginal
I don't, I don't, I don't buy a lot of the changes that they're talking about.
00:23:19
werthersoriginal
Cause I read that too. Like they did like test audiences and James Gunn actually is like a huge proponent of test audiences. He showed a rough cut to like guard of Guardians to an an audience.
00:23:31
werthersoriginal
and I just don't buy also that they would change the entire concept of the film based on one test audience, even though I think he does think of them very seriously and important, as important to the process.
00:23:45
werthersoriginal
Yeah, but that's like changing every dynamic of the story you're trying to tell. I just, i it's too much, you know?
00:23:52
werthersoriginal
Like, I don't buy that narrative.
00:23:55
werthersoriginal
i don't I don't believe it. But i do believe maybe there was a little bit of editing after the fact at ah at a test audience. Like making, tightening up things. Like that I don't, I do think is true.
00:24:08
werthersoriginal
ah He's also not one for like reshoots either. like he's just He says once a movie's the production's finished, it's just post-production at that point. so
00:24:17
werthersoriginal
And that, to me, gives me a lot of hope and trust because...
00:24:20
Dick VanMeat
No, and there were, like, there were the people saying that that that the the front office guys, like, made him shave the fucking, made him shave the ah time from, like, three hours to two hours and nine minutes.
00:24:34
Dick VanMeat
And he was like, well, first off, I'm the guy that would make somebody do that.
00:24:37
DeeBo
Yeah, i was going to say, yeah.
00:24:39
Dick VanMeat
He was like, nobody can make that call but me because I'm the president of DC Studios.
00:24:39
werthersoriginal
Yeah, right?
00:24:45
Dick VanMeat
He was like, yeah.
00:24:46
werthersoriginal
I mean, I see him having a lot of control over this project, but I don't see him if it, God forbid, really, God forbid, because I do like James Gunn. If this doesn't do well, then he will lose his his control over it.
00:25:01
werthersoriginal
Like, that's, I can't see that not happening. um
00:25:06
werthersoriginal
But right now, it's his. Like, it's his baby.
00:25:07
Dick VanMeat
Right now it's his and it's the first one. So we'll see it goes.
00:25:10
werthersoriginal
And they're kind of... and I know WB. I know Zaslav asshole. He's probably like, oh, he's carrying the brunt of all of this. If it doesn't work out, I could just say it was him all along.
00:25:20
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. And if it does work out, he he gets all the credit.
00:25:23
werthersoriginal
Exactly. So it's like the classic shithead slimeball move to make in Hollywood, right?
00:25:28
werthersoriginal
Like, put all the impetus and blame on ah one person that isn't you. And, you know?
00:25:36
werthersoriginal
Like, so...
00:25:37
Dick VanMeat
I just, I don't know. Everything I've seen, I mean, I, am I, are we blind?
00:25:40
werthersoriginal
I have so much trust in...
00:25:43
Dick VanMeat
Like, cause like, are we just, blind are we blinded by our, our um optimism?
00:25:47
Dick VanMeat
Because like,
00:25:47
werthersoriginal
that's That's... I can't... you can't like You can't even factor that in, really, to even think about that because it's so... That's so subversive and in our subconscious, you know?
00:25:56
Dick VanMeat
it is, but it's like, yeah, and and also at the same time, like, to be fair, we were, i mean, I know I was, and I know Steve was, like,
00:26:06
Dick VanMeat
filled with optimism about man of steel before like with the trailers and stuff before that that movie came out too so it's well i actually really do like superman returns and i've re-watched it the last couple years and i still think like aside from it being a clear fucking homage to the to the donner movie the donner movies like i think it's a good superman movie like in comparison to like ah if it gets the it gets the character down
00:26:12
werthersoriginal
Superman Returns as well.
00:26:31
werthersoriginal
Well, in comparison to Man of Steel, yeah, of course.
00:26:34
Dick VanMeat
Well, just, that you know, and like, it's like, it's a, it's still a good Superman movie, you know?
00:26:38
werthersoriginal
It's all right.
00:26:39
Dick VanMeat
Like, it's, yeah.
00:26:39
werthersoriginal
It's all right. I'm maybe you don't like it as much as as you do, but like I I'm looking for this to be the the Superman of the modern age. Like that's when I watch this trailer, that's kind of the feeling i get.
00:26:52
werthersoriginal
And I want I want it to be.
00:26:52
DeeBo
yeah I want to see where I go This is the guy moving forward.
00:26:55
werthersoriginal
Yeah, exactly.
00:26:57
werthersoriginal
Like I'm really excited for that. And I think it will do that regardless of success of the box office. Like I just trust James Gunn so much. Guy's great.
00:27:09
werthersoriginal
There's a lot out there like him.
00:27:11
werthersoriginal
You know? There's lot of shit.
00:27:13
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, and it's like, no, but like, the the pessimist in me could be like, well well, this is the first time he's doing something that's like, not, you know, like, fucking underdog central.
00:27:13
werthersoriginal
There's lot chaff.
00:27:17
werthersoriginal
I know. Me too. Me too.
00:27:27
Dick VanMeat
You know, like, this is this is this is the big show.
00:27:28
werthersoriginal
Not also not like...
00:27:30
Dick VanMeat
This is like the major major league. This is the NBA now. Like, this isn't college basketball.
00:27:34
werthersoriginal
Not like also... slightly trashy too. Like that's a big thing with him.
00:27:38
Dick VanMeat
Right, where, yeah, like, you know, because that's what he had going for him with Guardians. is like no not The casual audience didn't really know what they were, so he got to play around with it, do whatever he wanted, it and made it good.
00:27:49
werthersoriginal
And he's pretty blue with his humor. That's the other thing too. Like he's very much like even Peacemaker is very like is, is, uh, lurid.
00:27:59
werthersoriginal
Some of the jokes that Peacemaker tells is pure. Like it's funny as fuck. who's also like immature silly bullshit you know i don't know i I trust the heart that he puts into every movie you know what i mean like even Peacemaker and Guardians they all have a big heart
00:28:12
Dick VanMeat
Okay, so tickets...
00:28:16
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, and the fact that all three Guardians movies are really amazing is kind of it's kind of like crazy if you think about it.
00:28:24
werthersoriginal
right through all of the stupid bullshit that had surrounded the MCU while those movies were coming out they were still consistent
00:28:30
Dick VanMeat
Exactly, yeah. No, because I mean, the the better the best like comparison to make was is is probably Taika Waititi and what he did with Thor, and the last Thor was really bad.
00:28:40
werthersoriginal
Yeah, well.
00:28:41
Dick VanMeat
You know, like, it's not like... yeah And James Gunn, like, you know... Maybe James Gunn is just him. You know, he's just he's just him.
00:28:48
werthersoriginal
i To be honest, I think he's got more of a heart in his films.
00:28:49
Dick VanMeat
It's like...
00:28:52
werthersoriginal
It makes you care more.
00:28:52
Dick VanMeat
He's got that dog in him, Chris. That dog named Crypto.
00:28:56
werthersoriginal
he He knows even if you make the the dumbest fucking comedy in the world, you've got care about the characters on the screen.
00:29:03
werthersoriginal
You have to.
00:29:03
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, and like...
00:29:04
Dick VanMeat
It's just like... i mean i don't know if this is just... Again, this is just me being blind to, like... People that... you know, kind of share the same love for source material too, but like, the like just hearing him talk about how he adopted ah a dog and fell in love with a dog and had to write crypto into the script, like kind of makes me, yeah, like is I'm just like, okay.
00:29:28
Dick VanMeat
Like this guy is putting his, yeah, He, yeah.
00:29:29
werthersoriginal
That's a pure creative streak, you know?
00:29:32
Dick VanMeat
He puts his heart into it.
00:29:33
Dick VanMeat
You know, like he's putting himself into He's not just making something to look cool or making something
00:29:39
werthersoriginal
It's inspired. It feels inspired.
00:29:41
Dick VanMeat
It completely inspired. Yeah. So it's like, you know, it feels like he really cares about it. So, and he wants it to, and that, that's a small, like, I mean, it's going to end up being a big baby Yoda levels of, of, of, of things like crypto, but like, that's a small thing in the Superman, like, like mythos that could end up being a big impact.
00:30:03
Dick VanMeat
Like even just, even if we don't even see crypto a lot, like just the fact that he's there and that Superman has a dog could, could,
00:30:10
Steve-O
It's one of those elements that Superman has that no one ever really kind of touched on outside of like the comics.
00:30:11
Dick VanMeat
could be one of those things.
00:30:17
Steve-O
And it made Superman more likable.
00:30:20
Steve-O
But he kind of just they just like, yeah, we want to do it, dog. He's Superman.
00:30:25
Dick VanMeat
You think we're going to get that shot from the moon?
00:30:27
Dick VanMeat
them After playing fetch on the moon? Are we going to get that shot?
00:30:31
werthersoriginal
I think there's going to be a moment in the film where somebody is beating up crypto and he's going to lose it a little bit.
00:30:37
Steve-O
You think they're going to John Wick
00:30:37
Dick VanMeat
No, it's so...
00:30:37
werthersoriginal
and I don't think they're going to John wicket. I think he is going to lose it like a little bit. Like he's, and he's going to pull himself back.
00:30:43
Dick VanMeat
they're not he's Are they going to Guardians 3 yet?
00:30:45
Dick VanMeat
Are they going to Guardians 3 yet?
00:30:46
werthersoriginal
He's, he's going to pull himself back.
00:30:48
werthersoriginal
He's going to restrain himself, but he's going to go a little too hard and then he'll realize it and then be like, okay, I can't do that.
00:30:55
Steve-O
Man, if they John Wick'd it.
00:30:55
werthersoriginal
Like the thing.
00:30:56
Dick VanMeat
but the thing yeah But the thing is... like the ah The audience is going to feel... like They're going to be able to feel that too. like that's what that what's good That's what's going to be cool.
00:31:02
werthersoriginal
Yes. but
00:31:05
Steve-O
There's a scene where Superman stabs a guard in the stomach and he covers his mouth and he stares at him with his laser eyes the entire time he is going to the ground.
00:31:06
Dick VanMeat
um like I'm so excited for this.
00:31:15
werthersoriginal
I didn't know Steve was Zack Snyder.
00:31:18
Steve-O
No, they call me Rack Snyder because I love Space Ghost.
00:31:20
werthersoriginal
oh you know
00:31:22
Dick VanMeat
Rack Snyder. Hell, Rack Snyder. The Snyderverse.
00:31:27
Steve-O
Rack Snyder. Snyder.
00:31:30
werthersoriginal
And you know, Snyder bros going to see that scene and be like, look, see?
00:31:30
Dick VanMeat
schiderer one of The One of the posters says somebody pointed out that one of the
00:31:35
werthersoriginal
He's violent, though. He's a big ape. Like the our Superman is.
00:31:41
Steve-O
Big beefy boy. Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but.
00:31:51
Dick VanMeat
posters for the official marketing says like you're stronger than you think you are so they they think maybe the the famous um or maybe something similar to that famous all-star superman panel might be in might make it in there too which a lot of people a lot of casuals don't really know about too which is that's the thing that i'm excited about is like there's things that we know about superman all-star superman like the vibe vibes wise
00:32:18
Dick VanMeat
that, like, you know, some, like, my co-worker who thought Man Steel was a good movie, like, but has no, like, he's not a Snyder dude, but, like, he's, oh, yeah, I thought it was pretty good.
00:32:28
Dick VanMeat
Like, guys like like, guys like him don't know about these things.
00:32:30
werthersoriginal
Kinda casual.
00:32:32
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I'm excited for the casuals to get, like, good.
00:32:34
Steve-O
Why doesn't Superman have a gun?
00:32:39
werthersoriginal
I mean, he'll probably have a gun in the movie at one point.
00:32:41
Dick VanMeat
I'm excited, man.
00:32:42
Steve-O
He could curve the bullets.
00:32:45
Dick VanMeat
You think, dude, alright, so here's here's the other temperature taker i want to i want to ask you guys about this because this is like fucking conspiracy theorists too like how would you guys feel if the ultraman was actually henry cavill would you think that'd be pretty cool or like that'd be pretty sick right that'd be sick right if that happened and they just kept it under wraps the whole time or do you think that do you think the snyder fucking psychos would like would just their brains would just melt and they because they wouldn't know how to do what to do
00:33:01
werthersoriginal
who Oh, man.
00:33:01
Steve-O
That would be kind of cool. That would actually be sick.
00:33:14
werthersoriginal
Yeah, that's ah that's a spit in the face. If it's anything.
00:33:17
DeeBo
I think they'd be mad.
00:33:17
Dick VanMeat
they wouldn't know what to do.
00:33:18
DeeBo
I think they'd be pissed.
00:33:19
werthersoriginal
Yeah, that's that'll that would that would make me man.
00:33:21
Dick VanMeat
So that would be awesome, then. To make them even more mad?
00:33:23
werthersoriginal
Yeah, it would be great!
00:33:26
werthersoriginal
I wish. i was like that. And he I guess it would make Henry Cavill look a lot cooler too because even he's like, get
00:33:34
Dick VanMeat
Because somebody somebody did a...
00:33:35
Dick VanMeat
they They showed a picture of, like, Ultraman, like, escorting Superman in cuffs. And he's, like, shorter and like kind of stockier he kind of looks like henry cavill's like physique i don't know dude that'd be psycho dude what if it's just an edgelord looking superman to just fucking shit on snyderverse guys like that would be pretty cool too but that'd be pretty interesting
00:33:51
werthersoriginal
That is crazy.
00:34:00
werthersoriginal
I think it's debt it's it's definitely going to make fun of the...
00:34:04
Dick VanMeat
and what if what if it was henry cavill and he had a mustache like that would be sick right
00:34:10
werthersoriginal
I think you're going to see that in like Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner. Like they're going to be the gritty... gritty, I use that with quotations, characters in the film, and they're going to look like goofballs. That's kind of the way I think he's going to set it up. where like And it's not poking fun at Zack Snyder or Superman, but it's poking fun at the aesthetic and the tone of those movies.
00:34:34
werthersoriginal
like That's definitely going to be in there. They're going to actively make fun of like how serious Superman has been
00:34:42
werthersoriginal
For the past 10 or so years. Whatever how long it's been. So yeah I think he's going to definitely jive. But it's not going to be as specific. You know.
00:34:52
werthersoriginal
Like it's going to be more about the whole general tone of things.
00:34:56
Steve-O
ah They're bringing general tone back too.
00:34:57
Dick VanMeat
um Do you think...
00:34:58
werthersoriginal
General tone.
00:34:59
Dick VanMeat
oh you think we're going to get... you think we're going to a Supergirl teaser at the end?
00:35:02
werthersoriginal
Don't defy me. I know every tone.
00:35:05
Dick VanMeat
For the credits?
00:35:05
werthersoriginal
ah I sure hope so.
00:35:07
werthersoriginal
Because I am.
00:35:09
werthersoriginal
I like that Millie Alcock girl. She's cool.
00:35:12
Dick VanMeat
You just like all cock, Chris.
00:35:12
werthersoriginal
good actress.
00:35:17
werthersoriginal
I'm going to be honest, but she left House of the Dragon. i was like, damn. like I exactly think I audibly said that out loud.
00:35:24
Dick VanMeat
yeah Oh, she was good. She was good in that show.
00:35:27
werthersoriginal
Yeah, she's she's a great actress.
00:35:29
DeeBo
Was she the yeah the redhead? No.
00:35:31
werthersoriginal
No, she was the Targaryen, the younger younger version of one of the main characters in in the show.
00:35:32
Dick VanMeat
She's a Targaryen, right?
00:35:34
Dick VanMeat
She's blonde.
00:35:39
DeeBo
okay oh oh yeah yeah
00:35:39
werthersoriginal
so They only showed her for a bit because she's like the younger version.
00:35:46
werthersoriginal
And I loved her in it. And she was kind of funny and sarcastic. And it was something different in a, you know, in that setting. um And then she disappeared. And I was like, oh, you know, the show kind of, it lost a really good actress.
00:36:01
DeeBo
it was like fun when it was yeah that show i feel like the best part of that show was when it was using the teen versions of
00:36:09
DeeBo
Her and the other one.
00:36:11
werthersoriginal
Very much so. like they they As they got older, they just the story got like gloomier and lamer, basically.
00:36:20
werthersoriginal
and yeah And she's she's really good. I think she's going to make a fucking great Supergirl. That's perfect casting.
00:36:29
Dick VanMeat
Jason Momoa is pretty goddamn perfect too as Lobo, I would say.
00:36:33
werthersoriginal
I mean, that's...
00:36:34
DeeBo
That's going to be fun.
00:36:35
Dick VanMeat
he should have been Lobo from the start, I think, forever like before.
00:36:39
werthersoriginal
They got to really though, they got to separate themselves a bit from Deadpool. Like they got to go like a different route because Lobo.
00:36:45
Dick VanMeat
Oh, with like the anti-hero thing?
00:36:46
werthersoriginal
Yeah. Like Lobo is very much like Deadpool in a lot of ways. Like, I just feel like they, they got differentiate a bit, you know, i don't even know how they would do it. Honestly, don't, I'm not a big Lobo fan.
00:37:02
werthersoriginal
Like I never, I never liked the character.
00:37:04
DeeBo
I mean, I'm open to a different interpretation of Lobo for sure.
00:37:08
werthersoriginal
Basically is what I'm saying. Yeah.
00:37:09
DeeBo
I mean, know, I kind of what I, yeah.
00:37:09
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, i'm not a Lobo stan, but I enjoyed Lobo in this in the a in the an anime series.
00:37:09
werthersoriginal
like yeah
00:37:14
Dick VanMeat
I really thought i thought he was great.
00:37:15
DeeBo
Yeah. That's the best version of Lobo for me.
00:37:15
werthersoriginal
Yeah. That's true.
00:37:18
werthersoriginal
I do like his parts in that.
00:37:20
Dick VanMeat
He's kind of just you know kind of just a clown. Is he going to be a villain?
00:37:23
Dick VanMeat
is He's not going to be the villain, he's not goingnna be the villain right?
00:37:26
werthersoriginal
He can't be, right? It's like that won't work for him.
00:37:28
Steve-O
Nah, he's not going to be the villain.
00:37:30
Steve-O
he's He'll probably just show up for a scuffle and be like, that was a ton of fun, Suf, so be back soon.
00:37:30
Dick VanMeat
He's just Lobo.
00:37:37
werthersoriginal
See, like, that's the problem I have with this. Like, that's all it's going to be. i don't know if that's going to be good.

Dick VanMeat
It was godlike.
00:39:55
DeeBo
Yeah, oh that movie, it's a very good horror film.
00:40:01
DeeBo
And it's got a little bit of...
00:40:03
werthersoriginal
Gets a little blumhouse-y at the end, but I'm okay with that.
00:40:07
DeeBo
Yeah. Yeah. gets a little Blumhouse, but like there's the characters are likable. There's like fun moments. There's intense moments for sure. Uh, bring her back is much more of the intense and not so much with, and it's not even like, Oh, the other one's like a borderline comedy.
00:40:24
DeeBo
It wasn't, but there was just like fun moments. And this one is much, yeah, this is much, much heavier.
00:40:29
werthersoriginal
There was lighthearted elements.
00:40:34
werthersoriginal
Ooh, yeah. Ooh, yeah.
00:40:35
DeeBo
Like almost kind of to, I would say almost to like a debilitating sense.
00:40:41
DeeBo
Like I was just like, oh, this is, so the movie ends and I'm just sitting there in the theater and and I saw it by myself and I was just like,
00:40:41
werthersoriginal
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:40:48

00:40:59
Dick VanMeat
You were sad? Like it was a sad movie?
00:41:03
werthersoriginal
Wait, wait, wait, Devin. Is it the way I feel sometimes when I watch but i watch movies?
00:41:06
DeeBo
It's definitely a sad
00:41:08
werthersoriginal
like Was it pitiful? Would you consider the character kind pitiful?
00:41:15
werthersoriginal
Okay. Okay.
00:41:16
DeeBo
I will say, so it stars a lot of, like, kind of no names, but Sally Hawkins plays the mother. The the broad strokes is um it's ah this guy, Andy, and his sister, Piper.
00:41:30
DeeBo
His sister, Piper, is blind. And the movie starts and like their dad just like dies in the shower. And they go into foster care.
00:41:43
DeeBo
ah They meet Sally Hawkins characters like Laura. And there's something funky going on with Laura, you know. she, she takes the Piper a lot more than she does.
00:41:57
DeeBo
Andy, Andy's like the protective older brother. Uh, and then it's just like, and then with them is this other kid, Oliver, who's, i don't know if you've seen the trailers, but he's the kid with the shaved head who just looks fucking weird.
00:42:11
werthersoriginal
yeah dude yeah dude that's what sold me on this movie okay alright I didn't like it so hard
00:42:12
DeeBo
Yeah. And they're just like, Oh yeah, he's mute. And, and it's just, you know, he's he, that boy ain't right. You know? oh
00:42:23
DeeBo
Yeah, yeah, yeah. um Yeah, it is an intense fucking movie.
00:42:30
werthersoriginal
hell yeah dude hell yeah
00:42:30
DeeBo
And like there's there's honestly, there's some really... There are some moments where like, there good this is some good acting. This is some good acting going on here.
00:42:41
DeeBo
um But yeah, shout outs to Niren Phillips who plays Oliver. That kid fucking... Okay.
00:42:53
DeeBo

DeeBo
The unkillable, like, enemies? they Yeah.
00:43:07
werthersoriginal

00:43:21
DeeBo
The movie's not like tough to figure out or anything like that, but it's just...
00:43:27
werthersoriginal
Well, Devin, you piqued my interest.
00:43:29
DeeBo
Yeah, it's like, it's, I wouldn't even say, like, it's probably worth going to the theater to see it, honestly.
00:43:29
werthersoriginal
Okay. All
00:43:35
werthersoriginal
right. All right.
00:43:36
DeeBo
But, like, if not, that's fine. Chris, this screams to me like one of those, oh, oh let's all get together and, like, watch it type movies.
00:43:43
werthersoriginal
Hell yes.
00:43:44
DeeBo
um Man, there's a, there's a, so there's a famous scene in Talk to Me, John. ah Steve, did you see Talk to Me?
00:43:54
Dick VanMeat
I didn't see you talk to me.
00:43:55
Steve-O
i don't know and I don't think so.
00:43:57
DeeBo
Okay. Well, there's just like a scene, uh, in talking to me where it's just like, you're watching it and you're just, you're just like, Oh my oh God, that's a rough one.
00:44:00
werthersoriginal
I know what scene you're talking about, Evan.
00:44:07
werthersoriginal
Yeah, that point where he tried to pop his own eye out with his fingers, yeah.
00:44:11
DeeBo
yeah, he's like slamming his head into the corner of a fucking table and you see it and you're like, wow, that's, that's horrific to watch. Uh, that's rough. Um, there's that, but I, it's worse in this movie.
00:44:25
DeeBo
Um, Yeah, so I guess this is not like a fun time at all. um I will say that.
00:44:37
DeeBo
ah Yeah, and it's just, you know. ah Yeah, but that being said, I did enjoy the movie. It's just that don't like, don't just watch this.
00:44:51
DeeBo
It's on a random day. Like, you need to be prepared for this one.
00:44:54
werthersoriginal
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:44:55

00:46:16
Steve-O
Hello, there's a man outside smashing his face against my window.
00:46:19
werthersoriginal
Let me guess. He wants more on a Moosha Games. I'm right coming over.
00:46:24
Steve-O
but I'll be over for that Unamushi.
00:46:28
DeeBo
I'll be over that odibushi.
00:46:30
werthersoriginal
So let's be honest. Yes, there is a lot of desire for this. And not just Devin. you know I can't believe it, but it's not just him.
00:46:39
DeeBo
Yeah. Yeah, guys. It's it's well-known, well-liked thing, apparently.
00:46:44
werthersoriginal
Okay, sure. Whatever you say, bud.
00:46:47
Steve-O
You know, I know somebody who had a little bit of an Unamushi experience like that.
00:46:47
DeeBo
You're going to get it.
00:46:54
Steve-O
ah His name is John Suarez.
00:46:57
Steve-O
Apparently he went to a little store called Best Buy.
00:47:01
Steve-O
And let's just say...
00:47:02
Dick VanMeat
Well, let me preface this. Let me preface this first. The Switch 2 came out this week, but I played a lot of Elden Ring Night Reign this week.
00:47:11
DeeBo
hmm. I was ki you know what I was I was annoyed that you guys weren't talking about your Switch two experiences.
00:47:16
Dick VanMeat
The Switch 2.
00:47:17
DeeBo
You just talk about.
00:47:18
Dick VanMeat
Ugh, because we were too busy fucking clapping cheeks, Devin.
00:47:22
Dick VanMeat
That's what we were doing.
00:47:24
Steve-O
Devin, cheeks need to be clapped.
00:47:24
Dick VanMeat
and least me.
00:47:27
Dick VanMeat
I have two bosses left.
00:47:27
DeeBo
right. Before you never play the game again.
00:47:30
Dick VanMeat
um Before I never use another character.
00:47:34
Steve-O
Devin, have or ah Chris, have you have you picked it up since you last talked about it?
00:47:38
werthersoriginal
i I have not. ah have been extremely busy. i To be honest, I haven't done anything over this past week.
00:47:46
Dick VanMeat
um' ready to I'm ready to help you.
00:47:48
Dick VanMeat
To Sherpa you. when you're When you're ready, Chris.
00:47:50
werthersoriginal
i Trust me, I want to play it. I just, I feel like it's, if I'm honest, it's a thing that I have to devote a lot of time to.
00:47:57
Steve-O
Does it feel daunting? Like the timing you have to put into it.
00:48:00
werthersoriginal
Yes, it does.
00:48:01
werthersoriginal
It does.
00:48:02
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I mean... dude there's this there's there's this cool thing. like the The more bosses you beat, like it'll change the the the um the um the terrain of the map.
00:48:15
Dick VanMeat
of What is it called? Limveld? I don't even know. I don't really care about that stuff.
00:48:19
Dick VanMeat
i just want to fuck
00:48:19
DeeBo
Yeah, that sounds right.
00:48:20
Dick VanMeat
I just want to clap cheeks. Well, anyway, like once you beat the first boss, there's a giant crater that... that it's It's very similar to Elden Ring when... um the big fucking hole opens up in the middle of the of the limb grave when you kill radon yeah so like the there's the first thing is like a big giant crater opens up and then like you and your team can go down there and it's really fucking it's really cool because you go down there you you kind of figure out what to do um it's uh and then like you fight a big boss at at the end you get yeah yeah so like like the area and like once you get through like this the secret area that that
00:48:31
werthersoriginal
Oh, and kill Radon the first time?
00:48:51
werthersoriginal
So you unlock like a whole area basically is what
00:49:00
Dick VanMeat
that starts forming, uh, the more bosses you beat, then you you, like, you get a big buff. Like, one of the buffs, the buffs for the crater one is, like, you get, uh, you get to turn any of your weapons into a legendary.
00:49:14
Dick VanMeat
Like, whatever weapon you just choose and it just becomes legendary.
00:49:14
werthersoriginal
Ooh. Ooh.
00:49:17
Dick VanMeat
Which is really, it, like, powers it up a lot. there's ah There's a bunch of other, there's another thing where it's, like, it's kinda like Noxtella, the lost city.
00:49:25
Dick VanMeat
Like, there's a there's an area like that where we went through and the power up there is you get a free res or some shit. Like, you get you get a free res. Like, if you die, like, if you wipe and die, then it'll rate it'll it'll resurrect you.
00:49:41
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, which is cut which is pretty cool. Like, yeah, but, like, the crater thing is cool because you you you fucking event venture down deep into the crater.
00:49:48
Dick VanMeat
You get to to magma and lava at the end, get the power, and then you just you just hop on the fucking the little spectral hawk and ride it out of there. And it's like, it's really, and then, yeah, it's like, it's like some really cool moments like that.
00:50:03
Dick VanMeat
Um, but yeah, dude, I've been playing like that.
00:50:06
werthersoriginal
That sounds awesome.
00:50:07
Dick VanMeat
The game has just been in my head rent free because it's Elden Ring Bellatro. Like, so it's like fucking, it's, it's fucking addicting as hell, dude.
00:50:15
Dick VanMeat
Like, um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50:16
werthersoriginal
right. I got it. I got to get in on this. I got it. I don't know what I'm doing.
00:50:19
Dick VanMeat
Just let me know. Let me know when you're free. And then, you know, uh, me, Tim, Amir.
00:50:23
werthersoriginal
It's looking like Tuesday when ah tuesday and Wednesday are going to be my days that I'm really going to jump in
00:50:26
Dick VanMeat
All right. Bet. I'll let i'll let all ahll let the the team know. And then we'll we'll get you through it.
00:50:34
Dick VanMeat
Squad! and We're gonna squad up. Yeah. um Yeah, because we helped Borden get through the first boss. Me and Amir did.
00:50:44
werthersoriginal
Did anybody fight the Nightlord? Yeah.
00:50:47
Dick VanMeat
like but Amir beat it. But his character, he said... like i don't know if it's like this for every character, but for his character... He didn't say what it was, but he had to make a choice after he beat it.
00:51:00
Dick VanMeat
And it made him want he made it made him want to beat it again so he can see what the other choice is.
00:51:04
werthersoriginal
Ooh. Interesting.
00:51:07
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. But there are these things where like there are these things where it's like called re remembrance quests that you unlock. And you have to do a specific set of tasks for your character to like get a little bit of story and stuff behind it.
00:51:21
Dick VanMeat
I'm not a lore guy like you got like you and tim are. But I did the one for for the executor, and the little cutscene I saw was like this giant-looking crucible knight dude that commits seppuku when whens he saw like a dead body on the ground.
00:51:36
Dick VanMeat
I don't know what happened! You know how it is.
00:51:39
Dick VanMeat
It's very cryptic, the way they do the stories. um I mean, could probably just look it up and see, but it was really cool.
00:51:44
werthersoriginal
interesting
00:51:45
Dick VanMeat
um But, ah you know, it's and it's it's literally, you go through all this shit to unlock a skin.
00:51:48
werthersoriginal
I did read a little bit about the executor and he's kind of like cursed.
00:51:49
Dick VanMeat
That's basically what it is.
00:51:52
werthersoriginal
His armor is cursed. Like he's forced.
00:51:54
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, he has ah he has a he has a sword that's cursed. The Suncatcher sword.
00:51:58
werthersoriginal
And his armor, he can't take it off. Like he's stuck in it. Right.
00:52:03
werthersoriginal
I think that was part of it.
00:52:04
Dick VanMeat
Oh, so he's a he's a Jar?
00:52:06
Dick VanMeat
He's Alexander?
00:52:07
werthersoriginal
Basically.
00:52:08
Dick VanMeat
he's ah He's like a little...
00:52:09
Dick VanMeat
He's like an anthropomorphic Alexander.
00:52:12
werthersoriginal
So me thinks me thinks he did something wrong and maybe that's a Puku is like what he should have done.
00:52:16
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. The game...
00:52:19
Dick VanMeat
I'll give you, like, um I'll tell you too when we do it, but like, when we play with Amir, like, we have, you just have to, we got we just gotta go fast. Because like, Paul was like, the first time we played with him, he was just like, you know, playing it like it's just Elden Ring, so he's like, taking his time, looking at all the choices and stuff, and then like, we're already like, halfway across the map, and he gets lost.
00:52:28
werthersoriginal
Interesting.
00:52:41
werthersoriginal
To be honest, i the one time I did play, i i i know i knew it was fast.
00:52:46
werthersoriginal
like I was just running.
00:52:47
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, you have to like, snap decisions, like, The thing is, like when you play with Tim or Amir, they're like the project managers. So they're going to look at the map and tell tell us exactly where to go.
00:52:57
werthersoriginal
Yeah, hit the hot spots.
00:52:58
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, because that's the thing. You just need some you need one person to make the decisions. And like what I do is I just follow and I just clap cheeks. That's it that's all
00:53:05
werthersoriginal
Yeah, yeah, that's all I want.
00:53:06
Dick VanMeat
That's all I want to You tell me where to go, I'll go. I'll fucking kill whatever's in front of me. i'll help i'll rat I'll turn into a big wolf and I'll res you guys if you guys go down.
00:53:17
Dick VanMeat
You know? Like that kind of stuff. But... um It's just like, you know, because so some sometimes like, I mean, Borden was like perfect because like we were just like, hey, just we're going to move fast. Just keep up.
00:53:30
Dick VanMeat
And if you get stuck, say something, because like the thing that Paul is like, he would get stuck. But like, i don't know if he'd be like too embarrassed. Maybe he was high. Maybe he was just smoking weed or whatever.
00:53:39
Dick VanMeat
ah like like he Like missed a couple really big drops that happened just.
00:53:43
Dick VanMeat
And then he was like, I just i guess I lost you guys. And we're like. dude, like, just let us know, and then we'll, like, come back and and get you, you know? Like, because we're just, like, move and move and move and move, because you want to get as high level as possible before the final boss,
Platform Gaming Experiences
00:53:58
werthersoriginal
To Paul's defense, I do like to also... like That's the great thing about Elden Ring. just hit the pipe.
00:54:04
werthersoriginal
Get ripped.
00:54:04
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, and that's the thing.
00:54:06
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, that's the thing, is, like, the thing that, the thing about this game that I, that I, like, that I tell people, like, my my co-worker just started playing it, too, and he didn't like it at first, and he's a big Souls guy, and I'm like,
00:54:16
Dick VanMeat
first thing you gotta get out of your head is it's not elden ring at all it's not even it's not the same thing it just uses all of the assets from the game and it's just a completely different game so you just have to get that get that through your head and then you know just concentrate on completing the mission you know uh stay out of the fucking fog um you know
00:54:19
werthersoriginal
Yeah. Yep.
00:54:40
werthersoriginal
It's going to be tough. It's going to be tough for me. I'm going to get in there.
00:54:43
Dick VanMeat
yeah but like what
00:54:44
werthersoriginal
going to up.
00:54:45
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, but once you get over that hump, I think it'll be better. My coworker was having a shit time, though. don't know if it's because he got it on PS5, but he ended up returning it or whatever, and then got it for Steam, and the first time he tried on Steam, he cleared the first boss finally.
00:55:03
Dick VanMeat
I don't know if it's just maybe the PS5 guys are scrubs, but Steam guys aren't scrubs.
00:55:08
werthersoriginal
wow Well, obvious.
00:55:10
Dick VanMeat
I mean, there are a lot of scrubs on Steam, too. Don't get me wrong. but you know maybe it's just like a better turnout they're just hard more hardcore those guys on on pc you know but anyway yeah so that happened um there was a midnight release i think the last midnight release i went to was for call of duty was it advanced warfare
00:55:23
werthersoriginal
That's obvious.
Pre-order Frustrations
00:55:37
werthersoriginal
So, John, are you going to spit?
00:55:38
werthersoriginal
Are you going spit what happened here at this best fight?
00:55:40
Steve-O
Yeah, i want to I want to know this best boy by situation.
00:55:41
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I'm going let you know.
00:55:42
werthersoriginal
What's the story here?
00:55:43
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, so, okay, so I was kind of like, so what happened was i got the pre-order locked in ah like a month. When was it like a month ago, Steve? Two months ago?
00:55:52
Steve-O
ah April, it was like end of April.
00:55:53
Dick VanMeat
Three months ago? Two months ago-ish. Yeah, and it was like, and I didn't, I don't know if ah it gave me the choice, but when I locked in the pre-order from Best Buy, it wasn't shipped to store or shipped to home. It was pickup in store, right?
00:56:10
Dick VanMeat
And i've I've picked up things that I've ordered on on Best Buy before. It's literally the easiest fucking thing. You just pull up your thing. Even on your email, they scan a fucking barcode and then check your ID and then they give you the thing and you're off you're off to the races, right?
00:56:26
Steve-O
It's like, boom, boom, boom. You're out.
00:56:28
Dick VanMeat
So I'm looking, I'm on the reddit on the subreddits for the Switch launches and stuff and everyone was like, hey, like, yeah, it's just like what they did for Switch 1. There's going to be two lines. one for the fucking homeless people that are hopeful and and prayerful that didn't get a pre-order, and then one for the people that were well-prepared, right?
00:56:47
Dick VanMeat
Just getting that line. Like, they were like, people were like, yeah, like, last time when Switch 1 came out, I just showed up at 11, picked up my shit at 12, and I was, and, you know, and I was gone, right?
00:56:59
Dick VanMeat
So, I show up around 11. I didn't rush. I didn't want to get there and stay there for fucking four hours so i was like i'll just show up at 11 it's a fucking pre-order pickup it's not that complicated
00:57:13
Steve-O
you are You didn't have to compete with anybody. You just, you know, take care.
00:57:17
Dick VanMeat
right so i i pull up to best buy and you know how you can see the side of best buy like you know our best buy right you decide the side of best buy that's facing target like that wall was wrapped
00:57:24
Steve-O
I know our best by.
00:57:27
Steve-O
ah The long ball.
00:57:30
Dick VanMeat
there was a line wrapped around that entire that entire wall when I drove up, before I even pulled up in the parking lot.
00:57:38
Dick VanMeat
And I was like, oh my god. So I pulled in, I drive by the front, and that was the hobo line.
00:57:47
Dick VanMeat
Like, I saw the sign. they were like, this for the the hobos. And then on the other side of the door, it was like, this is for the rich rich people that already pre-ordered. So i was like, oh, sick!
00:57:58
Dick VanMeat
So there's only there's only like... like, i don't know, like 30 people in that, in that line. It wasn't nearly, it wasn't wrapped around the side of the building. It was like, maybe just the length of, from the, from the edge of the door to the other side of the wall. That was it.
00:58:13
Dick VanMeat
So I pull up 30 or 40 people in front of me. We're here for pre-orders. We'll be, we'll be in and out, right? Go in there and start talking to some of the, you know, the generates that, that are in line.
00:58:26
Dick VanMeat
Uh, there were a couple of parents that brought their kids, uh, I guess because they're fucking weird. like I don't know why you would bring your children. like they These were like young kids.
00:58:36
Dick VanMeat
like There was one that was like sleeping in his dad's arms.
00:58:37
DeeBo
Do you remember when we were at the Wii launch and there were kids?
00:58:41
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, Target.

werthersoriginal
Great combo.
00:59:18

00:59:34
Dick VanMeat
So, so we're in line at like 11 o'clock. I get there at 11, around 11, 1102. I get there and and that's where, and then I'm, we're sitting in line.
00:59:43
Dick VanMeat
There's, you know, people in front of me, uh, people start pouring in and filling up our line and our line starts to get really long. And I was count, I was like counting by fives just to get a rough estimate.
00:59:57
Dick VanMeat
There was a hundred people behind me, a hundred for the pre-order line. Right. so I'm like, oh shit.
01:00:06
Dick VanMeat
I'm like, this is, this is, this could complicate things. Right. So that's around 1130 is when people start pouring um, on our side too. I mean, I, you can, you can see how many people were lining up on the other side. Cause it was, it's a big building.
01:00:23
Dick VanMeat
Anyway, the Best Buy crew starts walking down, starts, you know, starts chopping it up with us. And they're like, hey, listen, like, you know, you guys are pre-orders, right? We can get you in there now.
01:00:35
Dick VanMeat
but they didn't say They didn't say if you could leave with the system then, but they were like, we can get you guys in there, get you in there right now if you change your you payment method to a brand new Best Buy credit card.
01:00:48
Dick VanMeat
It was literally like the scummiest, fucking dirtiest, fucking pay-to-win shit I've ever seen. and they were just talking to each person like, And they were like, listen, like if you do this, you get $75 back right away.
01:01:01
Dick VanMeat
And that'll pay for Donkey Kong Bonanza when that comes out. And I'm like, I'm like, yo, just put the fucking fries in the bag, bro.
01:01:09
Dick VanMeat
Like, I don't want to deal with this. Like, just so they're like, whatever. So nobody said yes, obviously, because it's like a weird thing to just fucking ask people.
01:01:20
Steve-O
They're trying to hustle. They're getting that but extra scratch.
01:01:21
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, they're trying to hustle for for the, yeah, the extra shit. and lunero And that's not the only thing. They said, you know, we'll get you in there now, and when we have enough systems. You can keep your payment method on on the one that you have now, and then we'll let you buy another Switch if you want another Switch with a new Best Buy credit card.
01:01:40
werthersoriginal
Wow. So they're just promoting.
01:01:40
Dick VanMeat
So you can go home so you could go home with two!
01:01:41
werthersoriginal
They're just. they're just promoting fucking, fucking scalping that way.
01:01:43
Dick VanMeat
yeah and I was like, what?
01:01:46
werthersoriginal
Like, wow.
01:01:46
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, literally, yeah, this is literally organized fucking first-party scalping.
01:01:51
Dick VanMeat
Like, right? That's what it felt like. So... So, yeah, and then, like, the matt like the the manager or whatever guy, like, comes up to, to you know, me and the the the other two guys, and they're like, oh are you guys keeping it?
01:02:06
Dick VanMeat
are you guys selling it? I'm like, I'm like, are you, fuck like, is this how you, like, is this what the fucking, uh, the fucking graphics card line, like, Midnight Launch was like?
01:02:16
Dick VanMeat
Because it's not, this isn't the same thing, dude.
01:02:18
werthersoriginal
This is the cyberpunk world that we live in now.
01:02:20
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, we're not, yeah.
01:02:22
Dick VanMeat
This is literally at Nintendo.
01:02:23
werthersoriginal
You, you, you them.
01:02:25
werthersoriginal
Sell them there.
01:02:26
Dick VanMeat
yeah there are people there are people with yeah there's so there's literally a person with a fucking earthbound hat on like five five feet from me you think that guy's gonna fucking scalp a system like chill out dude so uh yeah and he was like yeah i was thinking about getting one but and selling it but know i'll just wait and see how what happens i'm like you see how many units you have in the store you literally are trying to sell us two systems each like
01:02:27
werthersoriginal
Keep it. How many Eddie's again for it?
01:02:52
Dick VanMeat
I think you already know the answer to your question that it won't be worth it to scout these.
01:02:57
werthersoriginal
Yeah, right.
01:02:57
Dick VanMeat
So, yeah. So, okay. 12 o'clock comes down, you know, comes through. And then the main, the main honcho fucking, um, the big cheese, as we call him in Resident Evil four comes out and he's like, all right, this is what's going to happen.
01:03:10
werthersoriginal
Oh, boy.
01:03:15
Dick VanMeat
That's the order line.
01:03:15
werthersoriginal
Listen to me, you fucking animals.
01:03:16
Dick VanMeat
This is the pre-order line.
01:03:19
Dick VanMeat
He was like, at 12 o'clock and in two minutes, we're going to let three people in from the order line and two people in from the pre-order line at one time.
01:03:29
Dick VanMeat
And then the first 50 people to get it to to to leave with a with a system get to coin. So I was like, ah, fuck.
01:03:39
Dick VanMeat
So I was like, oh, so I'm clearly not going to get a fucking coin now. So whatever. I'm already here. I'll, you know, we'll just duke it out. So we're just talking fucking 1230 rolls around. um Our line has not moved at all.
01:03:55
Dick VanMeat
Right. And I my theory was because they have a bunch of shit in the store and they're letting the preorder people and the people that that come in to buy them there. They're letting them shop in the store for others like accessories and shit while they're there instead of just, you know, being like, just fucking get out of here and come back at 11.
01:04:14
werthersoriginal
Supermarket sweep style.
01:04:14
Dick VanMeat
Like they're letting you. Yeah. So i was like, okay, so our line isn't moving at all. This is at like 1230. One o'clock rolls around.
01:04:25
Dick VanMeat
Dude, I can see the, remember the big fucking fat fucking um King Dekah line I was talking about that's on the other side for the homeless people?
01:04:34
Dick VanMeat
I could see the end of their line.
01:04:35
Dick VanMeat
Their line is moving at fucking neck break speed.
01:04:40
Dick VanMeat
Breakneck speed. And our our line is not moving at all. So fucking Mendoza, big cheese comes back out. And I'm like, I'm like, dude, like, cause we're like, I'm starting, we're I'm starting to gas everybody up in our line because we were there for pre-orders and I'm just like, I'm like, what the fuck's going on in there? And everyone's like, this mom was like, I don't know. And I'm like, I'm like, dude, I'm expecting somebody. im I'm like, this next person better be walking out with a fucking refrigerator and a fucking washing machine because like, there's no fucking reason for this to take this long.
01:05:13
Dick VanMeat
So Mendoza comes back out. I keep calling him Mendoza because that's the Resident Evil 4 guy.
01:05:16
werthersoriginal
That's fine. what I imagine he looked like.
01:05:18
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. Yeah. He's got a fake. He's got a glass eye and a giant beard. And he's huge. He comes out and I'm like, bro, I'm like, what is going on in there? He's like, what do you mean? i'm like, we're the preorder line. Like our line's not moving at all.
01:05:33
Dick VanMeat
Like we should literally be in and out. Like you, you, you scan our barcode and he's like, yeah, you know, like people don't know how to open up the apps.
01:05:43
Dick VanMeat
Like they don't know. I'm like, I'm pretty sure a bunch of people that are in line right now know what to do. Cause like, why else would they even be here? Like they, they knew to come in and they there's instructions everywhere.
01:05:56
Dick VanMeat
Like, if not, like it's not that hard to like set, set them up before they go in. Like, he's like, yeah, like I know you're prepared. Cause you're, you're a smart guy.
01:06:07
Dick VanMeat
i was like, yo, dude, you got to chill the fuck out.
01:06:07
werthersoriginal
Oh, he's gassing you up.
01:06:09
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. i was like, yeaha was like, you need to chill out, dude. And the guy and the late Professor Layton guy was like, what's that supposed to mean to him? And I was like, I know.
01:06:18
Dick VanMeat
So then like, yeah, so like I'm like starting to light my fucking my fucking blow my pitchfork.
01:06:23
DeeBo
your tiki torch dude
01:06:25
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, my Tiki torch. He's like, no, I didn't mean anything by that. I'm like, dude, I'm like, I just wanted I just wanted like me and like like the 30 other people I can see right now just want to know why line's not moving at all. Like we're we're the ones that should be out of here.
01:06:41
Dick VanMeat
first because we actually bought the system two months ago and we like we're already prepared right and like like you know you already have our systems in there i guess they didn't think about it about like logistically like organizational wise like how to deal with like 300 pre-orders at one time but um yeah like 130 ish rolls around and now we start moving for some reason
01:07:10
Dick VanMeat
And then it's going faster. So I don't understand what but but the deal was. And and the thing is, like I'm watching people come out to see there's a bunch of people coming out with not with nothing.
01:07:21
Dick VanMeat
They're just coming out with the system. It's not like people are going in there, buying a bunch of stuff.
01:07:24
DeeBo
Yeah, I'm buying other shit.
01:07:25
Dick VanMeat
And then, yeah, like they're they' i'm like that guy I'm like, that guy didn't buy anything extra.
01:07:29
Dick VanMeat
That guy didn't buy anything extra. And then it got to the point where these two people that were in line with the person in front of me, person in front of me had a pre-order he was there with his two friends they left our line to go get in the other line so they could just buy their switches because it was moving it was moving way faster so
01:07:51
DeeBo
And honestly, yeah, like if you just went in and be like, oh, actually I prepaid, like you would have just been able to get it. They just would have gave it to you.
01:07:57
Dick VanMeat
yeah if i if i yeah if i acted like i did yeah i could have gotten them in that line and just it would have moved faster And I would have been able to buy a Switch and pick up my pre-order at the same time.
01:08:09
Dick VanMeat
and and And Mendoza was also saying that people had pre-orders for like five or six systems. And like, I guess that I'm like, dude, nobody walked out with five or six systems. Like we've been watching everybody.
01:08:22
Dick VanMeat
And um so I finally get in and I guess I realized what the issue was is there were a bunch of pre-orders and your system is already...
01:08:34
Dick VanMeat
Like, I don't know how they organized it back there, but your system is already picked out for you.
01:08:40
Steve-O
Oh, they already assigned like the little serial number.
01:08:40
Dick VanMeat
But again, it shouldn't take...
01:08:41
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, so they so you have they have to scan your barcode and then scan the QR code for the the specific system that you have to pick up because you pre-ordered it.
01:08:50
Dick VanMeat
But at the same time, put it in fucking alphabetical order, bro. That's it. Like, that's all... you like It's like a fucking pharmacy. Just put the fucking names on it. Put the names in alphabetical order.
01:09:02
Dick VanMeat
When fucking John Suarez comes in to pick up his thing, go to S, look for SU.
01:09:10
Dick VanMeat
Like, it's really not that difficult. So, so this, is so I went in there and this is, this is, I almost fucking screamed. I almost screamed because I went in there and the first thing the guy asked me, was like, Hey, would you like to,
01:09:25
Dick VanMeat
ah transfer your payment method to a best guide credit card and get, and get docked on Bonanza for free.
01:09:31
Dick VanMeat
I'm like, dude, I'm just here to pick up my system. And he's like, right, well, there's other stuff here. If you need to pick, I'm like, bro, I'm just trying to get my system. home.
01:09:40
Steve-O
You've been here for like an hour now.
01:09:40
Dick VanMeat
He's like, yeah. And he was like, he was like, fair and enough.
01:09:43
Dick VanMeat
He was like, fair enough.
01:09:44
werthersoriginal
Thank you.
01:09:44
Dick VanMeat
So then he was like, he scanned it and he's, and he didn't even check my ID too. So it didn't even matter. And he scanned it. He's like, you're good. And then went back, went in the back, took him five minutes.
01:09:56
Dick VanMeat
He comes out. It's just a regular Nintendo Switch with no Mario Kart bundle in it.
01:10:03
Dick VanMeat
But he re he catches himself. And he's like, oh, that oh shit, this is the wrong one.
01:10:06
DeeBo
You were ready. You were ready to pounce, dude.
01:10:08
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. Yeah, I was going to Donkey Kong Bonanza that dude's fucking face. so like he So then he goes in the back. And it takes him like seven minutes. I watched my time the whole time. It took him like seven minutes to find my fucking system.
01:10:24
Dick VanMeat
So i'm like, this is why it's taking so long. Like I should have got, I should have gotten here. I should have pretended like acted like I was getting a new, so like getting a new system being hopeful because these guys have no idea what they're fucking doing.
01:10:33
DeeBo
Sounded like you should have took that Best Buy card and got Don Bonanza for free.
01:10:38
Dick VanMeat
Probably should have, but yeah, like, so yeah. So I don't know, man, next time I'm just going to just, I'm going to order from Walmart because
01:10:47
Steve-O
Here's my question. Did you get a coin?
01:10:50
Dick VanMeat
no, I did not.
01:10:54
Dick VanMeat
I knew I wasn't going to get it when he said 50.
01:10:57
Dick VanMeat
When he said 50 right at 12. Because they they were letting three people in from the the hopeful line and then two people in from from our line.
01:11:05
Steve-O
That's the thing. If you've got pre-orders, man, I think you just put those coins with the pre-orders.
01:11:09
Dick VanMeat
You just get the coins in there. Yeah.
01:11:11
Dick VanMeat
I mean, Sam, like, when I got home and told Sam that we i didn't get the coins, like, she was, like, she was getting fired up.
01:11:18
Steve-O
I'm getting fired up.
01:11:18
Dick VanMeat
She's like, what? That's fucked up. Shit, that's fucked up. You guys should have gotten those.
01:11:22
Dick VanMeat
I'm like, listen, I'm just,
01:11:23
Steve-O
Everybody dropped the ball on this. It feels like because my target preorder from Walmart because Walmart made us all feel bad.
01:11:28
Dick VanMeat
Except Walmart. Except Walmart. Dang Walmart.
01:11:33
Steve-O
So I preordered like the minute it was midnight in April. I preordered from Target and I got it. I was like, all right, I don't need to worry. And at no point.
01:11:43
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, we got one from Target. We got one from Target, too.
01:11:46
Steve-O
At no point over the past two months did anything update or notify.
01:11:48
DeeBo
I can play something.
01:11:51
Steve-O
It never went to prepare for shipping. They never sent me any shipping codes. It was just ah shipping. And it was always at like June 11th. And I was like, well, that's probably just, you know, like a random stock number that they have in there.
01:12:03
DeeBo
police help it yeah
01:12:04
Steve-O
Placeholder. Day of the switch comes. I still haven't heard any updates. Nothing has changed. I'm like, what is happening? Now,
01:12:16
Steve-O
Early in May, Nintendo messaged me and they're like hey, you know, we we did our little lottery thing and like, you know, we're we're letting you buy a Switch 2 from us and, you know, pick up some stuff. And I was like, all right, you know what? I'm a psycho, so I'm going to buy one from Nintendo as well because I really want to get that GameCube controller.
01:12:35
Steve-O
So I bought the Nintendo Switch with the Mario Kart World bundle ah with a GameCube Switch 2 controller.
01:12:43
Steve-O
And, you know, I was like, all right. I didn't hear any updates or shipping things from either. And it was the day of release. I saw all you guys, you know, we got our things. We got our things.
01:12:55
Steve-O
Like, it was like, I was like that SpongeBob meme where it's like Squidward in the window while SpongeBob and Patrick were running and having fun.
01:12:59
Dick VanMeat
oh yeah. and He's like, just watch it. Yeah.
01:13:02
Steve-O
And I just was like, um, And then like that morning, like a FedEx truck pulls up. Guy walks up to my house, puts a package down and just walks away. And I'm like, what is this?
01:13:16
Steve-O
It was my Nintendo order. And I'm like the Nintendo order that was like, and it's probably not going to be day one. But yeah we'll see. was day one.
01:13:24
Dick VanMeat
yeah they did they Yeah, they did it.
01:13:24
Steve-O
Day one on release.
01:13:26
Dick VanMeat
They sweated it out for you guys.
01:13:27
werthersoriginal
Did the delivery driver turn back at you and he had a big Mario mustache and he winked? Mario does too.
01:13:32
Steve-O
No, I kind of, it felt like it.
01:13:34
werthersoriginal
Same guy.
01:13:35
Steve-O
He smelled of weed. um
01:13:38
werthersoriginal
mario does too
01:13:39
Steve-O
Yeah, probably. He's a plumber.
01:13:40
DeeBo
Steve, that was your Uber drive. Or that was your Uber Eats drive.
01:13:43
werthersoriginal
it's same guy
01:13:46
Steve-O
I'll give him a free pass then. But just anyway, like the fact that like Target, like it took them until Friday, the next day 10 PM, Friday, 10 PM to get that,
01:14:01
Steve-O
day one pre-order that I had made to me. And I was so pissed because I saw all the, like me and John have been talking about all the people who pre-ordered from Walmart.
01:14:12
Steve-O
They, oh my God, it was like a, it was like the sweetest little thing. It was like each switch was hand delivered in a, in a, in a nice bag.
01:14:22
Steve-O
And it came with a, I'm
01:14:23
DeeBo
like when Gabe Newell was handing out Steam Deck.
01:14:26
Steve-O
It came with a can of Pringles and a Coca-Cola and a Nintendo Switch. That's the most fucking, like, Norman Rockwell-esque shit I've ever heard. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here.
01:14:37
Dick VanMeat
yeah Yeah, Walmart won.
01:14:39
Dick VanMeat
Walmart won. Launch.
01:14:40
Steve-O
They won! In the future, if I'm going to pre-order something, I'm going to do it from Walmart.
01:14:46
werthersoriginal
Goodbye, Target.
01:14:47
Steve-O
Go buy Target. Go buy Best Buy. Unless if you have the Best Buy credit card, which you can get Donkey Kong Bonanza for free.
01:14:55
werthersoriginal
Steve's sold already. He's like, oh man, I wouldn't have took that.
01:14:59
Steve-O
But I want to talk about this fucker. We need to talk about the Switch too.
Nintendo Switch 2 Impressions
01:15:04
Steve-O
John, what are your thoughts?
01:15:05
Steve-O
What are your thoughts on this thing? $449,
01:15:07
Dick VanMeat
um How much is the system? $4.49? Just the system?
01:15:10
Steve-O
just the system. $500 you get the bundle. Hmm?
01:15:14
Dick VanMeat
Alright, so I've played two Switch 2 titles on it.
01:15:20
Dick VanMeat
I've played... Well, okay. well Before I get into that, let me go go through the hardware. System's nice. Screen's big. ah Screen isn't like...
01:15:28
Dick VanMeat
You can't really notice that it's LCD. like It's actually a really nice like looking screen.
01:15:32
Steve-O
It's very bright. It's it's much brighter than the original Switch was.
01:15:34
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. The most jarring thing about the system itself is that the analog sticks feel exactly the same. And a lot of tech teardown people tore it apart.
01:15:46
Dick VanMeat
It is literally the same exact fucking analog stick as the, as the switch one.
01:15:50
Steve-O
That makes sense.
01:15:52
Dick VanMeat
And they're like, yeah, this is, this is definitely going to be subjected to fucking stick drift. Like it's going to be the same shit.
01:15:59
Dick VanMeat
Like they did not change goddamn thing about it.
01:16:03
Dick VanMeat
i don't know why,
01:16:03
Steve-O
they They just lied then.
01:16:05
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I mean, it like it doesn't feel any different. like It doesn't feel more like... um like I've got a ah PlayStation controller here. I've got an Xbox controller here. like It doesn't feel more like that.
01:16:21
Dick VanMeat
um it feels literally It just feels the same as the Switch 1 Joy-Con sticks. Yeah.
01:16:29
Steve-O
Mine felt a little sensitive when I was like trying to type stuff in. Like I was like sometimes overshooting some things, but that's just, that's just me using the joy cons.
01:16:35
Dick VanMeat
Overshooting it, yeah.
01:16:38
Steve-O
I'm so used to the pro pro controller.
01:16:40
Dick VanMeat
Same... The same kind of issue I have with Switch 1 Joy-Cons too is that the and shoulder buttons are kind of too low. So I'll hit i'll hit the L1 or R1 by accident just because you know my hands will hit them.
01:16:57
Dick VanMeat
ah Not really... and like It's not really a problem, I don't think. um
01:17:01
werthersoriginal
I think that my biggest review my biggest issue with the Steam Deck is those touchpads.
01:17:02
Dick VanMeat
It is if you're...
01:17:06
werthersoriginal
Like for guys with bigger hands, I'm always accidentally hitting those.
01:17:11
werthersoriginal
So I got to shut them off. I turn them off for pretty much every game I play.
01:17:15
Steve-O
I think the Switch 2 is going to be more comfortable for people with bigger hands. Not because it's thicker. It's still the same thinness, which kind of like always kind of bugged me about the original Switch.
01:17:26
Dick VanMeat
It's, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:17:29
Steve-O
um But like you do have a little bit more space to hold it
01:17:33
Dick VanMeat
Like, the the Steam Deck is definitely more ergonomic.
01:17:36
Steve-O
Yes. And that's the one thing I kind of wish that they got going with this.
01:17:42
Steve-O
I've seen a lot of people complaining about like holding it and it being much like much bigger than the original switch one that it's like, you know, kind of weightier and it's still thin. So it feels awkward to hold.
01:17:53
Steve-O
ah People have been saying they've been using the kickstand on it as like kind of like a pop socket.
01:17:58
Dick VanMeat
like a... Oh, interesting.
01:18:01
Dick VanMeat
That's interesting.
01:18:02
Steve-O
I haven't played much of it handheld. ah Most of my gameplay has just been just been sitting at my desk.
01:18:05
Dick VanMeat
I've been playing a lot handheld.
01:18:09
DeeBo
I saw somebody complain and said, i I can't get more than two hours out of this thing.
01:18:13
Dick VanMeat
yeah when not Yeah, playing Mario Kart on this thing, on handheld mode, it cramps up my hands. But maybe that's just because I'm used to the fucking girthy, chonky, beautiful big boy that the Steam Deck is.
01:18:28
Dick VanMeat
you know like It's just it just way more comfortable.
01:18:28
Steve-O
It's beefy. It's beefy and ergonomic, like you said.
01:18:31
Dick VanMeat
ah The one thing I want to get out of the way too, ah right away too, is the fucking dock sucks. Yeah. like the quality The build quality of the dock is is fucking horrible.
01:18:43
Dick VanMeat
like It feels really cheap.
01:18:46
Dick VanMeat
like the like the the it's The one side is flimsy. I don't think the the Switch 1 dock felt this flimsy.
01:18:53
Steve-O
The switch one doc didn't feel this flimsy. The switch.
01:18:56
Dick VanMeat
Or the Switch...
01:18:58
Dick VanMeat
The OLED one did. Yeah.
01:18:59
Steve-O
I think it's the the when they started having you pop out the back.
01:19:04
Steve-O
It made me feel like this is like a flimsy piece of plastic.
01:19:08
Dick VanMeat
So there's there's that, and then like when you put the switch in the dock, like I guess it registers, but you it maybe it's and maybe it was I just had to break it in. like Before, i would have to i would have i would have to push it in a little bit to get it to sit flush.
01:19:17
Steve-O
you You have to like kind of push it in a little bit. Yeah.
01:19:23
Dick VanMeat
It's not doing that now, so maybe I just but we just need to be broken in like a pair of fucking Timberland boots.
01:19:28
Steve-O
You had to break it in like hymen.
01:19:29
Dick VanMeat
but like though also The other thing that I've been seeing too, i haven't really noticed it
01:19:31
werthersoriginal
Oh my god.
01:19:36
Dick VanMeat
but I haven't been trying to, to, to look at it and it could be, it could be fixing a firmware update, but ah allegedly it's charges slower when it's on the, when it's in the dock than it does.
01:19:49
Dick VanMeat
Uh, if you plug it directly into the USB.
01:19:52
Steve-O
That's interesting. I wonder if they are doing that as a battery prevention thing.
01:19:54
Dick VanMeat
So, I mean, that could be a battery heat thing too.
01:19:57
Steve-O
Because I... Yeah, i know there's two options that affect the battery.
01:19:58
Dick VanMeat
Like, cause it, cause it,
01:20:03
Steve-O
And one is... there's a ah mode if you go into the system, it should say ah charge battery only to 90%, which will make it so like you're never like overcharging your battery. So it's not just like draining itself from being constantly charged if it stays in its dock often.
01:20:22
Steve-O
um And then the second thing is I set it so just HDR is for like software compatible options. I don't really have any HDR TVs that I use it on, so I just have it off, but.
01:20:33
Dick VanMeat
Oh my god, dude. Can I tell you this is This is actually annoying too. when i When I put it in dock mode to play on my monitor, which has HDR, which I don't like to use because it's not like it's not good HDR, every time I turn on the Switch,
01:20:49
Dick VanMeat
if it's connected to my monitor, it fucking prompts me and asks me to adjust my settings to account for HDR.
01:20:54
Steve-O
No. Oh, that's annoying.
01:20:56
Dick VanMeat
And it's super annoying.
01:20:58
Steve-O
turn Turn that off in the display settings.
01:21:00
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I'm going to go in there and adjust it, ah quote unquote, by not doing anything and just saying, and then, yeah, and then see.
01:21:05
Steve-O
ah permanently adjust it for good. Um, my biggest takeaway is, yeah, like with the switch one, it felt like something was special.
01:21:10
Dick VanMeat
But, um, yeah, I mean, it's a switch.
01:21:17
Steve-O
Like I was a part of like a new Nintendo revolution. This just feels like I have a nicer switch.
01:21:26
Dick VanMeat
and and a but Yeah, it's like Switch OLED, too.
01:21:28
Steve-O
Yeah. Like I kind of like aside from playing Mario Kart world, which I'm like, this is like the big new and like, there's a lot going on here. I'm like,
01:21:40
Steve-O
I don't feel that like new console like craze that I normally have because it just feels like it's something I've already had for the past several years already.
01:21:50
Dick VanMeat
Right, right. Um, yeah, I mean, until we get Metroid Prime 4, like, um I mean, Mario Kart actually, and Metroid Prime 4, that's actually kind of disingenuous because that's a Switch 1 title. It's coming out for Switch 1 as well.
01:22:08
Steve-O
That's what Breath of the Wild did, though, but.
01:22:08
Dick VanMeat
what what i'm What I'm hearing, though, is that even games that aren't quote-unquote updated for Nintendo Switch 2 are running better, like, like, frame-wise,
01:22:19
Steve-O
Yeah, I booted up Animal Crossing and it it definitely loads stuff faster. um
01:22:25
Dick VanMeat
So, it's just like, the Joy-Con feels the same.
01:22:29
Dick VanMeat
Not yet. Nah.
01:22:29
werthersoriginal
Did any, did either of you fellas take a dump?
01:22:29
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. Yeah. same
01:22:35
Steve-O
No, no, no, I have not flagged this thing yet.
01:22:37
werthersoriginal
and Okay, all right.
01:22:38
Steve-O
The second it gets flagged is, you know, you'll be the first to know.
01:22:41
werthersoriginal
Please. Yeah, I'm kind of, I have like a little log book here.
01:22:45
Steve-O
No, because like, you know, when you do that, it's when you are the most comfortable with your purchase.
01:22:46
werthersoriginal
want to make sure everything's right.
01:22:52
Steve-O
It's like you are you are ready to just make this a regular part of your day. um I have kind of like kept it in its dock right here. um i got my pro controller with my target order.
01:23:03
Steve-O
So that was the only thing I kept. I returned the the second switch to target. ah I really like this pro controller. It feels just as good as the original pro controller, if not better.
01:23:15
Steve-O
And it has the one thing that a Nintendo controller has always needed. And that is a little headset port at the bottom, like the Xbox 360 has had for years.
01:23:25
Dick VanMeat
ah apparently you can just rip you can like it's really easy to take the face plate off of the of uh of the switch pro controller so no no no but no but but i no no you don't you don't have to but what i'm saying is like what's going to be cool what the what what people are saying is like people are going to be able to make really cool custom face plates for it and you'll be able to cut you'll be able to customize it fairly easily like
01:23:32
werthersoriginal
Oh, did you Hannibal Lecter this thing yet or what?
01:23:35
Steve-O
we I'm ripping it off. What?
01:23:40
Steve-O
It's off now, John. What do I do?
01:23:49
Steve-O
That's cool. I like that.
01:23:53
Dick VanMeat
you could just I saw a video. Somebody just you know put his fingernail in there and just pried it off.
01:23:57
Steve-O
Hmm. Have you touched this yet, John?
01:24:00
Dick VanMeat
that The Pro Controller?
01:24:01
werthersoriginal
I sure hope you guys did.
01:24:02
werthersoriginal
You're playing it, right?
01:24:03
Dick VanMeat
No, i don't I didn't buy it yet.
01:24:04
Steve-O
It is. it is. it's It's soft and matte.
01:24:08
Dick VanMeat
It is $85. Okay.
01:24:10
Steve-O
It is very expensive, but it is.
01:24:12
Steve-O
You definitely feel it when you touch it. It feels less plasticky and more like a very soft matte finish, which it doesn't smudge, thankfully.
01:24:22
Dick VanMeat
If guys are curious, I posted a posted a picture of it next to the Steam Deck. to see So you guys can see the um the size comparison.
01:24:29
Steve-O
Oh, I want to see that. The comparison.
01:24:38
DeeBo
I saw a guy lounging in a coffee shop playing the Switch 2 today.
01:24:42
Dick VanMeat
What was he playing?
01:24:43
DeeBo
ah No, I didn't see it. just saw him. I just saw the back of it. was like, okay.
01:24:47
Dick VanMeat
From what I hear, Cyberpunk runs really good on it. Like, that's probably a really good game to play on this thing if you don't have a Steam Deck.
01:24:55
werthersoriginal
So the profile a little smaller, I'm assuming, than the Steam Deck?
01:24:58
Dick VanMeat
It's a little smaller, and it's also, like, way thinner. Here, let me...
01:25:01
Steve-O
Yeah, the thinness is kind of what makes it hard to hold.
01:25:02
werthersoriginal
Yeah, I noticed. I saw that.
01:25:05
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. That's why... I mean, I... Like, for long, long playing... Like, I could literally... I played Sekiro on my Steam Deck until the battery died, and the system glitched out on me, and I thought my system...
01:25:21
Dick VanMeat
And I thought my system broke.
01:25:23
werthersoriginal
that happened to me playing Elden Ring or Night Reign Night Reign I was
01:25:24
Dick VanMeat
Because I... Okay, so so you you got you got the scare too? Like, did you see all like the vertical lines and shit?
01:25:31
werthersoriginal
like it was like it was that it was that 2% and I was like uh oh it's like what's going on
01:25:31
Dick VanMeat
like Yeah, i was like, oh no, it's broken!
01:25:37
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I was like, oh, fuck it. was like, fuck it, we ball. Or no, I plugged it in, but I plugged into ah and an adapter that didn't have a high enough power wattage for...
01:25:50
Dick VanMeat
for the Steam Deck, so it didn't charge, and I thought it was charging, and it was losing juice faster than it was charging, so, and then, yeah, so, so it ran out of battery and fucking glitched out on me, I thought,
01:25:56
werthersoriginal
It was charging it.
01:25:57
DeeBo
oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:26:00
werthersoriginal
I got it. I got a heavy duty like big old charger for my Steam Deck. It basically was a laptop charger, but like it is.
01:26:08
Dick VanMeat
yeah, like 65 watts or some shit, yeah, yeah,
01:26:11
werthersoriginal
Yeah. And it keeps it pretty much charged completely even playing anything like I could be playing anything. Now, did I do that playing Night Rain the first time? No, I didn't. I was excited.
01:26:22
werthersoriginal
Didn't think to plug her in.
01:26:23
Dick VanMeat
So so that is that what happened? your your shit Your battery died while playing Night Rain?
01:26:26
werthersoriginal
Basically, I started losing a little wind because I was at like 5% battery. And i was like, I don't know what I'm going to do. Like there's still two other days. I'm not making it, man.
01:26:37
werthersoriginal
and That kind of ah took the wind out of my sails. And I think that's probably why like everything fell apart. But now I know. Now I know.
01:26:48
Dick VanMeat
So the um the one... The one comparative... game that I can actually give a good assessment to is Street Fighter 6, because I'm a fucking degenerate, and I bought it for Switch 2.
01:26:58
Steve-O
You have it on both.
01:27:00
Dick VanMeat
Well, have it for Switch 2, I have it for PS5, and I have it for Steam.
01:27:03
Steve-O
Did you buy any of the amiibos?
01:27:04
Dick VanMeat
But, um... No! and i so I saw them in Best Buy, and and I was like, no, because I took a stand, Steve. like I saw them in there, and I could have bought them. I could have been a ah fucking mom and fucking went shopping instead of But I took an oath to the degenerates.
01:27:23
Steve-O
You're were like, I need to get out as fast as possible with my degenerate brothers.
01:27:25
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, i was like, I'm i'm just going... it Yeah. if they saw if If those dudes saw me walk out with three fucking $30 amiibos...
01:27:32
Steve-O
ah they would have forty 40. Those are 40.
01:27:35
Steve-O
The Street Fighter ones are 40.
01:27:35
werthersoriginal
Steve, would you...
01:27:35
Dick VanMeat
They're $40? I thought they $30! They're $40? Oh, God! And it's all characters I hate, but I still need them.
01:27:43
Steve-O
the The Zelda ones are 30.
01:27:44
Dick VanMeat
God damn it.
01:27:47
Steve-O
And i bought I bought one. I caved.
01:27:48
Steve-O
I don't have it yet. I bought Tolum the little bird.
01:27:51
Dick VanMeat
Fucking tariffs.
01:27:52
werthersoriginal
Steve, how would you like to respond to the nickname that you were given, Meebo Ho?
01:27:57
Dick VanMeat
I am an amiibo ho as well.
01:27:59
Steve-O
You're right. You're right.
01:28:00
werthersoriginal
i didn't I didn't come up it. It wasn't me. was just...
01:28:02
Steve-O
Dude, these things fit in my mouth so easy.
01:28:04
werthersoriginal
Yeah, there's lot of people.
01:28:04
Dick VanMeat
Oh yeah, so... Oh god, they are $40. I looked it up because I didn't trust you.
01:28:07
werthersoriginal
Don't put them in your mouth.
01:28:10
Dick VanMeat
I looked up because I didn't trust you, Steve. And you were right.
01:28:11
werthersoriginal
How many amiibos?
01:28:11
Steve-O
No, no i I thought about it. I looked it up. I was like, I would, you know, it'd be funny to have the Luke amiibo.
01:28:16
Dick VanMeat
You gotta get the Luke one, dude.
01:28:18
Steve-O
And then it was $40, John. I've already bought three of these motherfucking Switch 2s. I am done with buying things.
01:28:26
werthersoriginal
How many amiibos can you stick in your mouth at one time?
01:28:27
Dick VanMeat
So anyway, it depends on which one you which ones you go for.
01:28:32
werthersoriginal
It's ah Okay, you got to pick the right ones.
01:28:36
werthersoriginal
I'm not there.
01:28:36
Steve-O
He's tearing up my mouth. He's tearing up my mouth.
01:28:38
Dick VanMeat
Amiibos were my um my wedding toppers but i when we got married.
01:28:42
Steve-O
They were you had the ah the the Bowser in the peach.
01:28:45
Dick VanMeat
We Bowser and ah and the Peach ones, the wedding the wedding suits.
01:28:47
Steve-O
that That was a good one.
01:28:50
Dick VanMeat
ah So anyway, Street Fighter VI actually runs really good on the Switch 2. Like, even in handheld mode, idrans but it runs better than the Steam Deck.
01:29:00
Dick VanMeat
Or, and don't want to say it runs better, because it's just, you know, they're both 60 frames, but it looks better.
01:29:07
Dick VanMeat
Steam Deck, it looks a little choppier.
01:29:07
Steve-O
That is the thing with this. it is it is shocking how how decent things run on this.
01:29:12
Dick VanMeat
I want to see how Cyberpunk looks, just because I'm curious. Because Cyberpunk looked and and played amazing on Steam Deck.
01:29:18
Steve-O
That is the only other ah physical game that gives you the full game on the cartridge, I believe.
01:29:21
Dick VanMeat
So, probably i the same thing.
01:29:25
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, the fact that they were able to put that on a cartridge just is actually kind of impressive as well.
01:29:30
Dick VanMeat
so um But yeah, Street Fighter 6 runs well. Even Doct 2, I've been fucking terrorizing people in ranked play. Because my controllers...
01:29:40
DeeBo
Yeah, you're literally beating up on eight-year-olds, dude.
01:29:40
Steve-O
Is um online good?
01:29:44
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, you know what?
01:29:44
DeeBo
You got to be, right?
01:29:44
Dick VanMeat
They're gonna learn.
01:29:46
Dick VanMeat
They're gonna learn, dawg.
01:29:47
Steve-O
Dude, I was playing with Owen today in Mario Kart.
01:29:48
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, this is this is what I was...
01:29:49
Steve-O
He was kicking my ass.
01:29:51
Dick VanMeat
This is what I was doing, Devin. I was sweating like this. ah fucking Have my fucking controller plugged in handheld mode.
01:29:58
Steve-O
You had the fucking hitbox.
01:30:00
Dick VanMeat
Have my fucking hitbox plugged directly into it.
01:30:02
DeeBo
i was actually, yeah, was wondering if it was going to work with the Switch, too. I'm glad it does.
01:30:06
Dick VanMeat
Dude, my hitbox and my snackbox, they both work flawlessly, which is awesome.
01:30:10
DeeBo
Wait, John, what about that ah what about the PlayStation thing?
01:30:12
Steve-O
Yeah. What about the PlayStation wireless one? Come on, man.
01:30:15
DeeBo
You going to buy that? You going to that?
01:30:17
Dick VanMeat
We can talk about that afterwards.
01:30:19
Steve-O
I could I could hear him heating. um That's good that's exciting.
01:30:24
Steve-O
I you know, there's a part of me that always thinks of like the switch versions of games being like kind of the downgrade.
01:30:31
Dick VanMeat
No, it looks just as good as PS5. If not, maybe...
01:30:35
Dick VanMeat
um don't even know. I don't want to say it runs better than the PS5 one.
01:30:36
DeeBo
There's no way it looks better yet.
01:30:39
Dick VanMeat
But, like, it's... I can't notice a difference in playing. I can notice a difference between playing on Steam Deck and playing on PS5.
01:30:48
Dick VanMeat
But then again, Steam Deck is purely just on handheld. I haven't tried playing that plugged in or docked yet either.
01:30:56
werthersoriginal
Yeah, me either, either actually. don't even own a doc for that.
01:31:00
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, so... ah do ah I do have a dial. I've played a couple games.
01:31:06
Steve-O
i have a dock. It is finicky. It is finicky with my TV.
01:31:09
Dick VanMeat
It's weird. Yeah, it's weird on TV, I think. I think... i mean, to be honest, the Steam Deck is so comfortable that i would only probably recommend just playing a handheld.
01:31:18
werthersoriginal
i Yeah. i was I was considering getting a dock early on and then I played a few games.
01:31:23
Dick VanMeat
And you're like, why would you?
01:31:24
werthersoriginal
I was like, what the hell am I thinking?
01:31:24
Dick VanMeat
You have that beautiful OLED 90Hz screen. You know?
01:31:30
werthersoriginal
It feels so good I took a dump. By the way, I set the record that was two days in owning Steam Deck.
01:31:34
Steve-O
Two days in, um you were just immediately.
01:31:35
Dick VanMeat
Two days in, you fucking christened that thing?
01:31:38
werthersoriginal
I upper deckered with my Steam Deck.
01:31:38
Dick VanMeat
I haven't christened my...
01:31:43
Dick VanMeat
So, but yeah, like, it's not... The the system's not gonna blow you away. The Switch 2.
01:31:49
Steve-O
It is if you have a switch, just imagine having one that is better.
01:31:54
Dick VanMeat
That's pretty... Yeah, that's better. It's a better Switch.
01:31:56
Steve-O
And maybe, maybe it's because right now, um, Hmm. Mario Kart World is amazing. I love it. I don't know if I can be like, this is a game changing game like Breath of the Wild was.
01:32:11
DeeBo
It's a system seller.
01:32:13
Steve-O
No, it's a system seller. It's just it's not it is not Breath of the Wild, which is going to redefine the adventure genre. Like, you know, every game is a clone of Breath of the Wild now.
01:32:21
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, no, and that's, yeah, I mean, that's a weird, that's a weird thing to, to use too, because it's not like, it's not like Breath of the Wild was a Switch One, you know, exclusive launch title for it, you know?
01:32:35
Steve-O
Exclusive. Right.
01:32:38
Dick VanMeat
Like, at least, like, what's interesting is that Mario Kart 8, I guess, all that originally came out on Wii U, right?
01:32:47
Steve-O
Mario Kart 8 came out on the Wii and then the deluxe edition came out.
01:32:50
Dick VanMeat
And then they updated it ah updated it for so for Switch 1.
01:32:54
Steve-O
It came out that year, but it was like in July.
01:32:58
Dick VanMeat
I mean, yeah. i means Because like the the thing is...
01:33:02
Dick VanMeat
Mario Kart 8 was like a technical marvel when it when it came out.
01:33:05
Steve-O
It was beautiful.
01:33:05
Dick VanMeat
like I mean, this is beautiful too, but like I don't get...
01:33:06
Steve-O
It still is beautiful, I'm going to say.
01:33:13
Dick VanMeat
I mean, aside from like when I played Rainbow Road the first time today, I wasn't like, oh my god, this is... Because I remember us playing... Mario Kart 8 when it first came out, and we were like, Jesus Christ, like, this is, like, fucking Forza 5 levels of, like, graphics, graphical detail and on these on these tracks and stuff.
01:33:31
Steve-O
right And I don't think I had that moment with World.
01:33:34
Dick VanMeat
But maybe it's because we expect it. Maybe we just, yeah, maybe we just expected it.
01:33:36
Steve-O
I think, like you were saying, Rainbow Road, like, that is one that, like, kind of, like, dumbfounded me, which I've never really been dumbfounded by a Rainbow Road.
01:33:47
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, it's usually annoying, right?
01:33:48
DeeBo
yeah What do you mean dumbfounded? Like, it's just...
01:33:51
Dick VanMeat
Dude, it's... Dude, Devin, it's it's like... It's insane. Like, it's amazing. It's an experience.
01:33:56
Steve-O
It tells, like, kind of, like, you you know, like, just, like, when you... I don't even know how to fucking cut it.
01:34:02
Dick VanMeat
Maybe watch a video... Maybe watch a video of of somebody playing through Rainbow Road.
01:34:06
Dick VanMeat
Because it's like... It's amazing, dude.
01:34:09
Steve-O
It makes you earn Rainbow Road in this one. And.
01:34:12
Dick VanMeat
Oh, yeah, because it's locked. Yeah.
01:34:14
Steve-O
Yeah, it it's the very interesting thing about Mario Kart World is like we were saying, like the the visuals aren't really like.
01:34:23
Steve-O
They're not going to be like, wow, this is this is a beautiful game. It is cool. The game puts its power into how much shit is on the screen all at once because there are now 25 other people racing against you at all times.
01:34:37
Steve-O
So it's just there is nonstop shit all over the roads. It is it is constantly there is stuff happening. You're weaving in and out.
01:34:46
Dick VanMeat
yeah and then Yeah, not only that, like the grand if you play a Grand Prix circuit, like the the the tracks that you play are like extensions or like cross over the tracks that you previously played.
01:34:58
Dick VanMeat
you the like if you watch the If you watch this video, Devin...
01:35:06
Dick VanMeat
Here, I'll put it in shit talk. Like, the beginning of Rainbow Road, you're flying over... Like, the Princess Peach track that you played... Right right before that.
01:35:18
Dick VanMeat
So, like, it looks like you're just, like...
01:35:19
DeeBo
Yeah, yeah, because it's all connected, right?
01:35:21
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, they're all connected. So, like, that's actually kind of a cool thing. Because, like... yeah ah Like, um... I don't know. It's also...
01:35:29
Dick VanMeat
maybe Maybe that's the technical...
01:35:31
Dick VanMeat
technical display that they're trying to flex on it too as well is that you know these are actual like all like full environments that you're playing not just you know you're playing a piece of an of an of an entire environment i guess that's the the whole point of the free roam part too because you can just you could just drive through all the tracks
01:35:49
Steve-O
There's a lot of detail all over the road. Like you can do Moo Moo Meadows and then you could finish the Moo Moo Meadows race. And then the next race after that is somewhere in like, i don't know, like the snow lands and it'll make you drive from like the country the like the snow area.
01:36:11
Steve-O
And you're going through all these environmental changes. And it's just like kind of like, it's just, it's just neat how it just is like, everything is a track and then you get to do the snow track.
01:36:24
Steve-O
Like you do one, one lap around the snow track when you get to it, because the race is you getting to that track.
01:36:31
DeeBo
right it's like uh well didn't forza do that
01:36:37
Steve-O
Forza, yeah, Forza, there's definitely Forza Horizon DNA.
01:36:41
Dick VanMeat
I just, I wish it was more like Forza Horizon, though.
01:36:44
Steve-O
You just want there to be like barn finds and shit.
01:36:44
Dick VanMeat
Like... Nah, yeah, like, I... It's because, like, the free roam is kind of just a separate... It's kind of a separate play... Like, a separate, like, game type.
01:36:56
Dick VanMeat
Like, it's not like...
01:36:56
Steve-O
i know we didn't I know we didn't get to kick the tires tonight on the online earlier, John.
01:37:02
Steve-O
But when when you get into multiplayer free roam and like someone sets up a game, it's very cool.
01:37:08
Steve-O
Because wherever you are on the map, that is where you vote to like race to.
01:37:15
Steve-O
So like your little squad is like kind of like going where they choose. And then you can like set it so it's like there's like a minute or five minute intermission to let you like kind of like dick around in the free roam.
01:37:27
Steve-O
ah And then after that, you continue your trek to the next race. which is It's just really exciting because you know you're just constantly moving around this map and like wherever you end up being is where you're voting on to go next.
01:37:42
Steve-O
So you're kind of like making a road trip like with your with your squad, which is neat.
01:37:43
Dick VanMeat
That's pretty cool.
01:37:46
Dick VanMeat
So it is a little bit like Force of Horizon in that sense.
01:37:49
Steve-O
A little bit. Like, I haven't done any of the P-Switch stuff missions. um
01:37:53
Dick VanMeat
I did one. I rage quit.
01:37:55
Steve-O
You rage quit? they're They're kind of difficult, some of the requirements.
01:37:57
Dick VanMeat
I mean, I finished a couple, but there was there was one that there was one that made me like that maybe fucking do the little turn it off and toss it.
01:38:05
Dick VanMeat
ah Toss it lightly on the on the bed.
01:38:07
Steve-O
They're like, i'm I'm done for the day. I'm done for the day.
01:38:09
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I'm like, um like fuck this.
01:38:11
Dick VanMeat
somebody but Yeah, I'm going to fucking load up Elden Ring now. Fuck this. This is too hard. It's too I'm going to load Elden Ring.
01:38:18
Steve-O
It's awesome. Like, i am glad I have this. ah It is something that I'm excited for.
01:38:23
Dick VanMeat
I'm glad I spent $50 on this instead of $80.
01:38:26
Steve-O
Oh, thank God. Yeah.
01:38:28
Dick VanMeat
I think I beat...
01:38:28
DeeBo
Yeah, well, actually, i wanted to ask, does this feel like an $80 game?
01:38:28
Dick VanMeat
I feel a little type of way Yeah.
01:38:32
Dick VanMeat
I don't know, dude. I mean, again, i haven't really played everything yet. I just finished all the Grand Prixs.
01:38:39
Dick VanMeat
if i If my dick wasn't stuck inside Elden Ring Night Reign this week, then I probably would have played more of it.
01:38:44
Steve-O
You should do some of the knockout races, John.
01:38:46
Steve-O
You're going to fucking rage.
01:38:48
Steve-O
Because I've been doing it.
01:38:49
Dick VanMeat
Oh, yeah? Yeah, you want me to fucking rage?
01:38:52
Dick VanMeat
You want me to fucking rage?
01:38:52
Steve-O
Because, like, dude, I've been losing my shit.
01:38:55
Steve-O
Because I don't know what it is with the CPU in this game. They are fucking mean.
01:38:59
Dick VanMeat
Oh, dude, they're hateful, dude. They're actually hateful.
01:39:04
Steve-O
Dude, ah what was it? There was, like, a purple Yoshi. But it was, like, purple Yoshi from um Mario RPG. Like that fucking asshole. Do you know how i'm talking about Devin?
01:39:14
DeeBo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:39:15
Dick VanMeat
yeah, yeah. yeah
01:39:16
DeeBo
The one who like makes you race.
01:39:18
Steve-O
Yeah. Like there was a Yoshi kind of decked out like that guy.
01:39:22
Steve-O
He was, he was only throwing his shells at me. He's a fucking computer.
01:39:29
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, dude. No, no. I don't know what it is, man, but they it's like personal. like you're Because they usually have one or two nemeses for each Grand Prix.
01:39:39
Dick VanMeat
For this one, it feels like, yeah, you get the two good people, but one of them actually hates you. like One of those guys actually is trying to make sure... like That guy doesn't care if he wins. That AI doesn't care if he wins.
01:39:50
Dick VanMeat
He just wants to make sure you don't win.
01:39:52
Steve-O
He wants you to suffer.
01:39:52
Dick VanMeat
and it's fuck And it's pretty fucking crazy.
01:39:57
Dick VanMeat
Man, watching this Rainbow Road video. This is rainbo this Rainbow Road is insane, dude.
01:40:01
Steve-O
No, I love it because it like kind of tells like a story and it does the thing where it's like it's kind of going through all the Rainbow Road history. um
01:40:08
Dick VanMeat
It's so good.
01:40:10
Steve-O
I think Mario Kart 8 was the perfect Mario Kart. I think Mario Kart World is... its own new like breakout from Mario Kart. Cause it's like, what else can you do with that formula?
01:40:25
Dick VanMeat
The thing, though, is they they continued to go extremely unnecessarily ridiculously hard on the on the soundtrack, which I guess we expected because of how good Mario Kart 8 was.
01:40:38
Dick VanMeat
But, like, dude, hearing the Gusty Garden Galaxy fucking version with the guitars, i was like, this is fucking so good.
01:40:47
Steve-O
Dude, I was getting misty-eyed at the Mario 64 main menu music just playing.
01:40:47
Dick VanMeat
They even did dire, dire docs. Like...
01:40:54
Dick VanMeat
Oh, the main menu music? Yeah, dude.
01:40:56
Steve-O
Oh, it's beautiful. like it's It's just that like jazzy, sick band that they had for Mario 8.
01:41:02
Steve-O
And they got them back, but they're doing every Mario song.
01:41:03
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, i hope those I hope those guys are getting paid. I hope they're paying those guys.
01:41:06
Steve-O
Oh, dude, they're getting paid in late, I bet.
01:41:09
Dick VanMeat
I better fucking... They better.
01:41:10
Steve-O
mia Miyamoto's going around giving suck jobs.
01:41:10
Dick VanMeat
they're they so ah so three They actually sold 3 million units in 24 hours for some shit I saw.
01:41:17
Steve-O
That makes sense.
01:41:17
Dick VanMeat
Which is like unheard of. Of a console launch. Although I'm sure PS5 would have if they had if they had enough units.
01:41:26
DeeBo
Yeah, if there were enough, right?
01:41:28
Dick VanMeat
If there were enough, they probably would have. But like Nintendo gets to flex that now. Sorry, Sony.
01:41:35
Steve-O
So overall, like i I like, I think we were saying, I think the switch too is something where it's like, you know, if there's a game out there you want to play, go for it.
01:41:37
werthersoriginal
learning
01:41:46
DeeBo
Well, have you played any other Switch 2 games or is just this one?
01:41:49
Steve-O
No, and that's kind of the thing.
01:41:50
DeeBo
You didn't play that weird $10 whatever the...
01:41:53
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, um let me see what else is available.
01:41:55
Steve-O
ah ah Was that Fast Fusion?
01:41:57
Dick VanMeat
Fast Fusion, I heard, is awesome, dude.
01:41:57
DeeBo
Wait, yeah, did you play the wheelchair game?
01:42:00
Dick VanMeat
No, is that out?
01:42:00
Steve-O
I don't think that's out. I don't think that's ah That's the thing.
01:42:03
Steve-O
A lot of the things that I thought were going to be like launch in their like original launch video, like even that like update to, what is that, Mario Party?
01:42:06
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, there's like nothing.
01:42:12

DeeBo

01:42:39
Dick VanMeat
It is really...
01:42:39
Steve-O
Read the room, Nintendo.
01:42:41
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, how do I do this? Do I just... Oh shit, dude, it's seamless. Oh my god.
01:42:46
Dick VanMeat
I just ripped off the right Joy-Con and just put it against my desk.
01:42:50
Steve-O
I gotta say, i love how you remove the joy cons from the new one.
01:42:50
Dick VanMeat
And now it's mouse.
01:42:54
Steve-O
So, you know, it's magnetic now. So there's like these two little like buttons that are kind of like next to the triggers. You just press it in and you just like pull it off. It's, it's much nicer than the weird, like zippy thing you had to do.
01:43:06
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, the mouse works, I guess.
01:43:09
Dick VanMeat
The mouse works, but it's it's not like...
01:43:12
Steve-O
We got to get you a first person shooter, man.
01:43:12
Dick VanMeat
you If you have to scroll... like i'm and I'm in the eShop right now.

Steve-O
Download, download Fortnite, download Fortnite,

Dick VanMeat
i am not doing that.
01:43:20
Steve-O
Dude, they got Superman in it.
01:43:21
Dick VanMeat
Maybe I will, because Superman, I got Superman now.
01:43:22
Steve-O
They got Superman it. Crypto is one of the weapons. You get a doggy bone, you throw it. He fucking just tears up whoever you throw it at
01:43:30
Dick VanMeat
i'm I'm actually impressed that I was able to just rip the Joy-Con off and just put it on my desk and it it acts as a mouse immediately. That's kind of cool.
01:43:38
Dick VanMeat
i don't have to I don't have to fuck with the settings.
01:43:42
Dick VanMeat
Oh, look at that. You can play Civ 7 with your Nintendo Switch 2 mouse mode.
01:43:46
Steve-O
Are you talking about that game? That's an 80, barely. barely
01:43:49
Dick VanMeat
Oh, like Mario Kart World, also in eighty
01:43:51
Steve-O
Mario Kart World's at 88. Mario Kart World's at 88. That
01:43:54
DeeBo
and's That's pretty underperforming.
01:43:55
Dick VanMeat
maybe i'll get Maybe I'll get Split Fiction for this. And me and Sam will play Split Fiction on on Nintendo. I was going to get it for Steam, but... Again, we would have to just sit at my desk like a bunch of fucking idiots when we have a Nintendo system here.
01:44:15
Dick VanMeat
So I don't know. Maybe... Yeah, let me wishlist it.
01:44:20
Steve-O
What else do we want to talk about?
01:44:21
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, so I'll give i'll give this ah i'll give this the Switch launch a fuck.
01:44:25
Dick VanMeat
Like the system launch.
01:44:25
Steve-O
I get I will say i will give it a fuck, too, because ah it'd probably be a Mary if it showed up with some fucking Pringles.
01:44:28
Dick VanMeat
It's not a Mary.
01:44:33
Dick VanMeat
It would probably be a Mary if Zelda
01:44:33
werthersoriginal
I can bring you Pringles. can bring you guys Pringles.
Future of Gaming Consoles
01:44:37
Steve-O
You're always a Mary, Chris.
01:44:39
werthersoriginal
No, thank you very much.
01:44:41
Dick VanMeat
Breath of the Kingdom. If Breath of the Kingdom came out. Zelda. Then maybe. Although everybody's saying playing Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch 2 is like an entirely brand new experience.
01:44:53
DeeBo
Wait. Oh, ten I will say our one friend, our one friend,
01:44:53
werthersoriginal
I'm not going lie with you guys.
01:44:53
Dick VanMeat
But I don't know if that's good. i don't know if that's copium.
01:44:55
werthersoriginal
i would i would I would bring you guys stackables. Lay stackables.
01:44:59
Dick VanMeat
ah they you know I don't mind stackables.
01:45:02
werthersoriginal
i I don't mind immediately.
01:45:02
Dick VanMeat
don't mind stackables.
01:45:03
werthersoriginal
and don't mind immediately.
01:45:04
DeeBo
our one friend Borden's, he's like, I'm trying to play Breath of the Wild, but like I'm not going to spend $90. And I'm like, is that really how much it cost?
01:45:16
DeeBo
And he's like, yes. And just like, oh, fuck it.
01:45:18
Dick VanMeat
Wait, if you want to just buy it fresh. Let me see.
01:45:20
DeeBo
Yeah, something like that. And he's like, I'm not going to spend $90 on this game.
01:45:24
Dick VanMeat
It's not $90. Maybe $80 or $70.
01:45:25
DeeBo
And I was like, maybe it's...
01:45:27
Dick VanMeat
maybe it's eighty dollars or seventy I think it's it's it's the second
01:45:28
Steve-O
The Switch 2, think, is ah a Yeah, it's more, so it's
01:45:35
Dick VanMeat
not ninety dollars though
01:45:36
DeeBo
That's still pretty... I mean, I knew that. I knew it was $70, but that's still disgusting to to be asked to pay that.
01:45:46
Dick VanMeat
but it's also it's also the best game ever made and also the ah second one Dude, when if if Red Dead 2, when that comes out for Switch 2, if that's not $80, I'll be a little disappointed.
01:45:52
DeeBo
Doom 2016 is a better game.
01:46:00
Dick VanMeat
That better be $80.
01:46:02
werthersoriginal
Ha ha ha
01:46:03
Dick VanMeat
Because it's...
01:46:04
DeeBo
I don't want to live in that world.
01:46:06
Dick VanMeat
Because Rockstar deserves all... They deserve even more money than if than the infinite sign.
01:46:09
DeeBo
Yeah, indie studio rock star. Yeah, they deserve to give it to them.
01:46:12
Dick VanMeat
ah Yeah, indie studio Rockstar.
01:46:16
Dick VanMeat
think GTA 6 could run on this thing, though, to be honest.
01:46:21
DeeBo
but is that what you want to play?
01:46:22
DeeBo
Is that how you want to play it?
01:46:24
Dick VanMeat
I'm just saying, like, i don't know.
01:46:26
Dick VanMeat
It seems like it's not.
01:46:29
DeeBo
I've never been bit by the handheld bug. It's just never really appealed to me.
01:46:33
Dick VanMeat
Well, yeah, because you sat on your 2DS and cracked it in half.
01:46:36
DeeBo
Yeah. Yeah. i did Well, it didn't crack in half, but the screen did explode. And I was like, oh.
01:46:42
Steve-O
I feel like you you had a little bit of that handheld bug when the PSP was out.
01:46:47
DeeBo
Not really. Like, I played it.
01:46:48
Steve-O
I remember you fellas pulling out your Vitas while we were at the diner.
01:46:53
werthersoriginal
I didn't do that.
01:46:56
werthersoriginal
Who are you talking about?
01:46:57
Steve-O
It was Devin and John. it was the day Iwata died.
01:46:59
werthersoriginal
Oh, wow.
01:47:01
Steve-O
And these two motherfuckers pulled out their fucking Sony-made tombstones for the man.
01:47:07
werthersoriginal
And Steve, you were just, like, disgust, like I imagine.
01:47:10
Steve-O
was like, well, that's the thing.
01:47:11
werthersoriginal
How dare you?
01:47:13
Steve-O
John kept it a secret. ah he was like, boom. And I was like, how could you?
01:47:18
DeeBo
I do remember that actually. Yeah.
01:47:20
werthersoriginal
Man died today!
01:47:20
Dick VanMeat
Oh, what? when we shadow-bought PSPs?
01:47:25
DeeBo
Oh yeah. Cause like I pulled it out and then John's like, oh yeah, I have one. And this dude's like, what?
01:47:31
Steve-O
I was like, what the fuck?
01:47:32
Dick VanMeat
You know what was dope, though? Fucking playing Luminase. Like, that was... that
01:47:37
Steve-O
They announced a brand new Luminates this week.
01:47:40
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, but, like, the first Luminase ever made was on PSP, I think.
01:47:45
Steve-O
And it was a banger.
01:47:46
Dick VanMeat
And that was that was an experience. That was a fucking... That was a banger. So that's that's what I want to say. p And you know what else I loved too on PSP?
01:47:54
Dick VanMeat
metal gear at Metal Gear Acid. I mean like i didn't play any Metal Gear Solid games.

01:48:20
werthersoriginal
Come on, man.
01:48:23
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, a few other things happened this week. the The one thing I want to get out of the way first, Devin, and I'm looking right at you.
01:48:30
werthersoriginal
Oh, shit.
01:48:32
Dick VanMeat
we should We should do this with webcams sometimes so we can look at each other. But ah we should.
01:48:37
werthersoriginal
Yeah, that's a good idea. That a good idea.
01:48:39
Dick VanMeat
I really think we should. um I want to get your thoughts on the that fucking god-tier fucking Ultima thing. Ultimate Rugal Shin Akuma level of fucking tech demo that was Witcher 4.
01:48:54
Dick VanMeat
Because that was... That was insane watching that. That shit.
01:48:58
DeeBo
Yeah. Dude, I'll be honest. I like don't take it seriously.
01:49:02
Dick VanMeat
You're trying not to. You're trying not to.
01:49:03
DeeBo
I don't know. Like just because like I know they've said it.
01:49:05
Dick VanMeat
When they... Yo.
01:49:08
Dick VanMeat
When they fucking showed... when like i was like really impressed with what I saw. But when they showed the horse running and they were pointing out the muscle ripples... of the horse and then zoomed in on the horse and showed an x-ray of its muscle tissue, all the fibers moving separately.
01:49:25
Dick VanMeat
i was like, this has to be fucking fake. There's no way, there's no way this is fucking real.
01:49:30
Dick VanMeat
Like this is just so somebody just made this shit up that, that fucking shit up.
01:49:30
DeeBo
And it's like, yeah if all you need is like the woods and like a party or something to run, like, yeah, of course the PS5 is going to be able to create that.
01:49:41
DeeBo
Because what you're creating is a 15 minute.
01:49:43
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, but what about every single muscle fiber on a horse's body moving separately, autonomously, like an actual, like an actual real...
01:49:49
DeeBo
I know it's sick. it's um It's just like, dude, if you look at the Witcher 3, like, of initial, like, first footage, it doesn't look like the Witcher 3 that we got, right?
01:50:05
Dick VanMeat
Well, they said that this none of this shit in the tech demo is like in the game. Like they just created a fake shit.
01:50:09
DeeBo
I know, which is, and it's like, i yes that's kind of what I think, yeah.
01:50:10
werthersoriginal
So what the fuck is the point of it?
01:50:12
Dick VanMeat
Well, i mean, they were showing off, they were showing off, like, how the NPCs interact with you, and how they interact with each other. Which, to be honest, as somebody who played the shit out of Red Dead Redemption 2, it's not too far off of that. It's almost like, maybe they just look, but like, because that, that was actually revolutionary, the NPC shit that, that we saw in Red Dead 2 when that first came out.
01:50:38
Dick VanMeat
So I don't know why they needed to to do this, like, That's kind of like the floor now. Like, you kind of you kind of expected to to do shit like that in an open-world game. Especially, these guys made Cyberpunk, which also, you know, very, very active NPCs and AIs in that and that game as well, um in Night City.
01:50:55
werthersoriginal
Yeah, only after like two years it out.
01:50:57
Dick VanMeat
Exactly, right, right, exactly. So, like, it's almost like, yeah, duh. But, like, what sucks is, like, they were, like, they basically said, like, the like even like the little cut scene that they showed like isn't like a real thing in this in the story of the game like it's just it's just like shit that they cooked up to show what the game is capable will be capable of doing i guess but none of this stuff's actually ironed out yet which makes you think the game still weighs off like it's 2030 maybe devin
01:51:26
DeeBo
Oh my God. Yeah. Like I don't 20, 27 is a dream. Uh, it's a dream if we get it there.
01:51:32
werthersoriginal
and then And then tack on another attackck on another two years when they fix fixs it after it comes out.
01:51:39
Dick VanMeat
When Witcher 4 Phantom Liberty comes out in 2029.
01:51:41
DeeBo
This is going to be a PS5, PS6 co-launch game.
01:51:44
werthersoriginal
And then another two years to release the DLC that's better than it ah in every way, shape, or form. Yeah, I'm familiar with this system.
01:51:55
DeeBo
Yeah, this process.
01:51:56
Dick VanMeat
but that's the thing Well, that's the thing. Cyberpunk really... They're going to be on the hot seat here for Witcher 4. So maybe, hopefully, they don't rush to get it out because that was what killed Cyberpunk.
01:52:08
werthersoriginal
I hope so too.
01:52:10
Dick VanMeat
But what what also i what what I'm afraid of is like if the game is coming out around the same time, maybe not the same time, but like like if it's not for...
01:52:23
Dick VanMeat
like if If it's 2027, 2028, then the PS6 will probably be out by then, I would assume, right?
01:52:27
DeeBo
Exactly. That's what I mean. like I feel like this is going to be like, yeah, you could play it on the PS5, but like why why would you?
01:52:34
Dick VanMeat
and then and then yeah And then we'll have the same Cyberpunk issues, where it's like they're trying to optimize the system for they're They're trying to optimize the game for older systems and it's fucking everything else up, you know?
01:52:44
Dick VanMeat
So I don't know. Maybe that's why what Rockstar does does make sense because they're just like, we're going to make it work.
01:52:51
DeeBo
but Release a game once a decade.
01:52:53
Dick VanMeat
Well, that and like, we're there. They're not going to they're not they're not, you know, they're not releasing GTA six and probably and they they didn't do it for the other games. They don't release on PC day one and they they have a they have an optimal plan for it to work on the current system.
01:53:09
DeeBo
yeah i mean i think the best case scenario is like this game is kind of like one of those like crown jewels like one of the last like great games of the console cycle and then like in a year or two we'll get like the
01:53:09
Dick VanMeat
So they only optimize it for that. And that's why it's probably, it's probably better that way.
01:53:28
DeeBo
whatever you know the 4k hdr version on the ps6 or you know whatever right but like yeah i it would be annoying if this came out on both consoles because like you said it's like there's just always a problem when they're trying to up res and do these things so and again it's it's cool but like just me knowing ultimately it's not real kind of takes frankly my interest away from it like oh that's cool but like you know what's the point yeah like to what chris said like what what what are we doing here uh i may as well just see like an unreal tech demo with random things like you know non-ip characters
01:54:12
werthersoriginal
it's more It's more a trailer for the engine than it is for the game.
01:54:15
DeeBo
yeah yeah it is it is
01:54:19
werthersoriginal
I don't care.
01:54:20
werthersoriginal
i don't care what kind of engine you put in my car.
01:54:21
Dick VanMeat
yeah just Yeah, just make just make it run, make sure it runs good, and it's a pleasure to drive.
01:54:23
werthersoriginal
Make sure runs, babe.
01:54:30
Dick VanMeat
But yeah, i man, I don't know, dude. It was awesome, though.
01:54:34
Dick VanMeat
It was awesome seeing the seeing the muscle fibers on a fucking horse operate separately while the horses are fucking running at full speed.
01:54:45
DeeBo
that horse is is a wild man.
01:54:46
Dick VanMeat
And you know what the first thing that came up came my head? I'm like, um like all you have to do is fucking just you know copy what they did Red Dead 2 for horse shit. Because that horse shit was perfect.
01:54:53
DeeBo
Yeah, just go there horse balls and show them shrinking in the cold.
01:54:56
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, make the horse balls shrink when when it's cold. Yeah, you know how it is.
01:55:00
werthersoriginal
It's definitely something I'm looking for in a video game. have to tell you.
01:55:05
werthersoriginal
It's up on my list.
01:55:07
Dick VanMeat
So yeah yeah, I guess you can't really um be too hyped after that because it's like, you know you don't know if that's going to be
01:55:11
DeeBo
And yeah, it's just like we saw Cyberpunk, we saw Witcher 3, and at the very at least they're like, yes, please, please know this isn't real. This basically isn't real.
01:55:22
Dick VanMeat
As a casual that hasn't played any of the Witcher games, I thought it was fucking awesome.
01:55:28
DeeBo
No, I mean, it was. But, you know. Give me the Witcher game.
01:55:33
Steve-O
He talking about these characters from Dead by Daylight?
01:55:33
Dick VanMeat
What else? What else?
01:55:37
DeeBo
God damn it. God fucking...
01:55:39
werthersoriginal
Got him.
01:55:39
Dick VanMeat
So that was like the day... That was a day that was what? Tuesday when that when that came out?
01:55:44
DeeBo
It was Tuesday, isn't it?
01:55:44
Steve-O
Yeah, the Witcher stuff, yeah.
01:55:45
DeeBo
Yeah. ah Yeah, and then we got a...
01:55:49

Suck a dick for your witcher.
01:55:53
Steve-O
Keep going, ah yeah.

01:56:00
DeeBo

Yeah, but the the day before the day before the brand new system that has a FromSoftware exclusive launches.
01:56:13
Steve-O
what would What would we declare this state to be for play?
01:56:18
werthersoriginal
What state is it?
01:56:20
Steve-O
I think they should do it.
01:56:21
Steve-O
if they're going to do it like State of the Union, they need to do it where it's like someone comes out and says it.
01:56:24
werthersoriginal
Steve, I would, well, if you want to give like a a general tone, I would say malaise. But if, if you want to know like a more in-depth, you know, actual state of the union, you're, they're fucked.
01:56:40
Steve-O
Right now, need to play

01:59:27
DeeBo
Pragmata, which is...
01:59:32
DeeBo
Yeah. Also, to be fair, though, I wasn't really expecting Ari. I was like, it's going to happen. It's just not going to happen here. ah There's a new Bloodstained game, so I will add...
01:59:42
Dick VanMeat
Oh, what, blood? Oh, God, I thought you said Bloodborne.

DeeBo
That's pretty sick.
02:00:04
DeeBo
Yeah, that's... Yeah.
02:00:05
Dick VanMeat
Saying, oh, it's not it's not a remaster.
02:00:07
Dick VanMeat
it's it's It's something a little more than that, but less than a remake. I'm like, bro, did you watch the fucking trailer?
02:00:12
werthersoriginal
Thank you.
02:00:14
Dick VanMeat
if They did nothing to the visuals at all. They added autosave.
02:00:18
Steve-O
i don't I don't like what the fantasy critic makes Reign into.
02:00:23
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, he's a monster.
02:00:24
Dick VanMeat
is a monster.
02:00:24
Steve-O
he turns he turns into a little...
02:00:25
Steve-O
He's a brokie. Dude's talking so much game for having $13 in his fucking bank account..........
02:00:34
Dick VanMeat
But yeah, so like, good. I'm glad they fucking changed that because like that was that that was making me mad, Devin.
02:00:40
DeeBo
John, I'll be honest.
02:00:40
Dick VanMeat
I don't know how you felt.
02:00:40
DeeBo
this I went into, i went well, I just kind of, like, because technically, not technically, I do have the ability to override.
02:00:48
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, but I didn't I didn't want you to have to do that.
02:00:49
DeeBo
And I'm like, yeah, and I'm like, I'm not going to do that.
02:00:51
Dick VanMeat
Like, that's that's why I was mad because ah like.
02:00:53
Steve-O
You wanted the organization.
02:00:53
DeeBo
yeah Yeah, no, so I went into the, dude, Fantasy Critic Discord, and there literally, there was like its own little chat room about this, and it was, everybody's like, I have no idea why this is the case, and i was just like, well, I'm not going to change it.
02:00:56
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I want the I want the system the work.
02:01:05
Dick VanMeat
they had their own thread not even a thread they had whole fuck is a partial remake what does that even mean like that's
02:01:17
DeeBo
It's voice acting, John, come on.
02:01:17
Steve-O
now Now, here's the thing. If I had picked this before, because it was in there,
02:01:23
DeeBo
i think I think it would have been...
02:01:23
Steve-O
But if I had picked this before...
02:01:26
Dick VanMeat
it would have dropped it for you from you
02:01:27
DeeBo
i don't know if it would have been bounced, but it would have been... I don't know what it would have happened, but like you wouldn't have gotten points. like It's not like you could have been grandfathered then, as far as I know.
02:01:36
werthersoriginal
Would you have gotten your money back?
02:01:39
DeeBo
Yeah, that's who knows, dude?
02:01:40
Dick VanMeat
Who knows at this point?
02:01:41
Steve-O
Oh, that's a good question.
02:01:42
Steve-O
That's a good question.
02:01:42
Dick VanMeat
Nah, but you know, i'm glad I'm glad that that got fucking nixed because like, dude, I was but i was wanted i wanted to scream at the people that were like, oh yeah, it's it's not her.
02:01:51
Steve-O
I'm glad that this exists.
02:01:51
DeeBo
But that being said that being said, I am pretty jazzed for it because I've never i've started tactics 10 times and I've never beaten
02:01:58
Dick VanMeat
Wait, Chris, have you played this? Have you played Tactics?
02:02:01
werthersoriginal
I don't like it.
02:02:03
Steve-O
We had friends that we'd go over their houses and it was the only thing that they'd be playing for the entire night.
02:02:06
DeeBo
it. All they would do, yeah
02:02:09
Dick VanMeat
Because I was going to say, this is going to be amazing on Steam Deck.
02:02:13
werthersoriginal
and I've tried it
02:02:13
Dick VanMeat
I'm definitely gonna i'm going to get this for Steam Deck.
02:02:15
werthersoriginal
I don't, I was like, I i played Advance Wars for a bit.
02:02:18
werthersoriginal
and It's sort of that same style of gameplay where you're like moving enemies into other enemies like areas or whatever.
02:02:27
werthersoriginal
I just, I just can't wrap my brain around it.
02:02:29
werthersoriginal
That's not my game.
02:02:31
Steve-O
I'm going to say that the tactics advance for game boy advance, uh, swore me off the tactic series for final fantasy.
02:02:38
Dick VanMeat
Nah, I love that
02:02:39
DeeBo
well that no dude that game stinks dude i think i can't spit on toast dude
02:02:40
Dick VanMeat
I felt like...
02:02:41
Steve-O
ah I, I, dude, dude, Hey, Hey, in the tutorial for refer in the tutorial for using a health pack, the referee said, can't use health packs.
02:02:41
Dick VanMeat
No, fuck you, Devin. That game ruled.
02:02:53
Steve-O
And I went, well, fuck this game.
02:02:53
Dick VanMeat
I'm sorry. i'm sorry you don't like a challenge I'm sorry you don't like a challenge sometimes, which is the restrictions there.
02:02:59
Steve-O
It was a tutorial! just popped up and said you have to use health back!
02:03:03
Steve-O
And then the referee said, you go to jail!
02:03:05
Dick VanMeat
yeah I fucking... Dude, I worked at EB Games when that came out, and I was the only one that liked that game, and everybody used to fucking dogpile on me for liking that game.
02:03:16
Dick VanMeat
They're like, how could you like this? They have fucking yellow cards. I'm like, um don't know, because it's fucking fun for me to play this on my fucking Game Boy Advance. Like, it's it's a really good Game Boy Advance game, too.
02:03:25
Steve-O
it is It is cool that it came out for GBA.
02:03:28
Steve-O
i i'm I'm with you. i just don't think I'm a big ah strat grid person.
02:03:34
werthersoriginal
Nope, neither. Never was.
02:03:37
DeeBo
It's going to be great. How dare you?
02:03:38
Steve-O
It probably will be great.
02:03:39
DeeBo
It already is great. Everybody loves it.
02:03:40
Steve-O

02:04:02
Dick VanMeat
And would I be far off, Chris?
02:04:05
Dick VanMeat
I wouldn't be far off of what it actually was.

02:05:29
Dick VanMeat
I don't know. this Amazon?

Dick VanMeat
Well, at least they hired ah the team that did Hitman to do this.

02:05:37
Dick VanMeat
like That's pretty cool.

02:05:53
werthersoriginal
Was he young Dexter?
02:05:57
DeeBo

02:06:00
werthersoriginal
There you go.
02:06:01
Dick VanMeat
yeah this Yeah, this game might be good, dude.
02:06:03
werthersoriginal
There's your Bond.
02:06:03
Dick VanMeat
This game might
02:06:04
DeeBo
Yeah. Yeah. So there was that. Oh, my God. I lost my spot. Where is it?
02:06:11
Dick VanMeat
But they put Le Chiffre, or however you pronounce it, in Hitman.
02:06:17
Dick VanMeat
Le Chiffre, yeah.
02:06:19
Dick VanMeat
They put him in, and Mads Mikkelsen did the voice, too.
02:06:23
Dick VanMeat
They put him in Hitman to hold us over until First Light comes out.
02:06:25
werthersoriginal
Like me some of Lashif.
02:06:25
DeeBo
Yeah. Oh yeah, that's right. That's right.
02:06:28
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, they put him in there.
02:06:30
DeeBo
ah There was a Sony did this thing that I can never stand, which is they were like, Hey, here's this game you want to see, ah but tune in on a later date to find out more.
02:06:30
Dick VanMeat
But that was, yeah.
02:06:42
Steve-O
I hate when they do that.
02:06:42
DeeBo
and I'm like, Oh, okay.
02:06:43
Steve-O
I hate when they do it.
02:06:44
Steve-O
What game did they do that for?
02:06:45
DeeBo
That was ghost of Yote.
02:06:45
Steve-O
That was Ghost of Yotei. Yeah, I was like, I'm excited.
02:06:51
DeeBo
Yeah, and so at some point in July, we're going to get a deep dive.
02:06:51
Steve-O
then they were like, not for you.
02:06:54
DeeBo
And I'm like, cool, I get. Thanks. Sure. The big surprise, but also sort of a disappointment because they ended on this and not any of the things anybody really wanted, was Marvel.
02:07:08
DeeBo
I don't know how to pronounce Token?
02:07:09
Dick VanMeat
Marvel Token toke Consoles?
02:07:09
DeeBo
Token? Token Fighting Souls ah by Arc Systems.
02:07:15
Dick VanMeat
the Arxis game, which is actually kind of cool.
02:07:18
DeeBo
this I mean, this game looks dope.
02:07:19
Dick VanMeat
People... It looks beautiful, dude.
02:07:23
Dick VanMeat
So, like, ah for the the fighting game community, like, was, like, kind of weird about it, because they they want Marvel vs. Capcom 4, and they were kind of expecting it.
02:07:35
Dick VanMeat
But it wasn't. But it's it's also Arxis doing it, so they're like, oh, well, it might be really good then. and
02:07:43
DeeBo
Yeah, I mean, if somebody's going to do it, it's it's hard to be like, oh
02:07:48
Dick VanMeat
And it's kind of it's kind of cool that it's an anime fighter.
02:07:51
Steve-O
The ultimates are going to look nuts.
02:07:51
Dick VanMeat
Like, with with Marvel.
02:07:55
DeeBo
Yeah, this this looks good.
02:07:59
Dick VanMeat
It looks really good. that's what It's a 4v4. You know who who's probably sweating?
02:08:03
Dick VanMeat
Fucking riot Games probably sweating right now.
02:08:06
Steve-O
oh with and oh my god.
02:08:06
Dick VanMeat
Because, like...
02:08:07
Dick VanMeat
Because 2XKO was supposed to be the fucking... The tag team game of the future. And now this is dropping? It's like, now you gotta compete with fucking Marvel Arxis?
02:08:16
DeeBo
and you know whats You know what's crazy?
02:08:16
Dick VanMeat
Like, get the fuck out of here, dude.
02:08:18
DeeBo
is like just you know I know we're like kind of it's still fun to poo-poo the movies and things like that, but like the Marvel brand is still insanely popular.
02:08:28
DeeBo
Because like it it doesn't it takes a phone call to do this with DC characters.
02:08:35
DeeBo
And it just still doesn't happen because like Marvel's just still so much more popular. And it's just like, yeah, dude. Sorry. Like, i listen, I know there's the Injustice game.
02:08:47
DeeBo
I know that exists, but still.
02:08:47
werthersoriginal
they They just started, I guess, making good games, though. Like, they haven't really been great.
02:08:53
DeeBo
But it's like, it's just still like, just in terms of like franchise games, like with Marvel characters, like it's just still every, you know, there's the the Overwatch clone, there was Guardians, there was Spider-Man, there's like that cosmic, that like the beat-em-up that's coming out.
02:09:09
werthersoriginal
Yeah, Guardians, Spider-Man.
02:09:12
werthersoriginal
There's also the Avengers...
02:09:14
DeeBo
Yeah, no, I get it, but I'm just saying, like, they're they're not even trying over.
02:09:15
werthersoriginal
You know, like an Iron Man.
02:09:20
DeeBo
They're not even trying with the DC games.
02:09:22
Steve-O
They've, I think they're like, oh, people kind of like this, like anime-esque, like versions of these characters.
02:09:24
Dick VanMeat
Well, it's also...
02:09:27
Dick VanMeat
No, but all...
02:09:28
Dick VanMeat
You know what it is, though, Devin? like Like, Warner Brothers has its own games like thing, too, so they probably like they probably keep it like under wraps.
02:09:37
DeeBo
I know, what I know, but...
02:09:38
werthersoriginal
and they made And they made some of the best superhero games ever with the Batman trilogy.
02:09:43
DeeBo
Yeah, with Suicide Squad.
02:09:44
DeeBo
Yeah, those guys. Yeah, Suicide Squad.
02:09:45
werthersoriginal
Shut the fuck up.
02:09:46
Steve-O

02:09:46
Steve-O
That doesn't count.
02:09:46
DeeBo
With those guys, even though it's safe studio.
02:09:48
Dick VanMeat

02:09:49
Steve-O
That doesn't count.
02:09:50
werthersoriginal
they didn't know what they were doing. They were forced to do that. They didn't know what they were doing.
02:09:51
DeeBo
Yeah. No, I'm just saying, like, it's just like, goddamn, dude. Like, give something. That being said, as cool as this was, like, where's the Bloodborne 2?
02:10:04
DeeBo
Where's Bloodborne Remake? Or, you know, where's Wolverine?
02:10:08
DeeBo

02:10:19
Steve-O
i don I don't even need like an established franchise. I just need that big banger.
02:10:24

02:11:34
DeeBo
i This to me, like, yeah, to me that to game our token game, I was just like, this is a great, like, what if they just dropped two more big, big boys, then it would be amazing.
02:11:34
Steve-O
We got so spoiled.
02:11:48
DeeBo
And then they just ended with like a documentary. And then I was like, oh, this is, it's over.
02:11:52
Steve-O
Dude, the second I knew was the documentary, I was like, fuck, this is the last thing, isn't it?
02:12:01
Steve-O
I was like, oh, that looks cool. ah we're still talking about it. Oh, okay.
02:12:06
DeeBo
Yeah, no Kingdom Hearts?
02:12:10
DeeBo
Yeah, no, that one's upset.
02:12:10
werthersoriginal
We really had a hard time and we were really passionate about making this game that you don't care about.
02:12:16
Steve-O
I think it's cool.
02:12:17
DeeBo
No, it's cool, and but like I don't know if I'm going to buy it, right? It's just not really my jam. It's not my jam. ah Tim will love it.
02:12:25
werthersoriginal
Tim's going to love it.
02:12:27
Steve-O
and Tim's gonna love this.
02:12:27
werthersoriginal
going to eat up.
02:12:27
DeeBo
Uh, and listen, there's a lot of things.
02:12:29
DeeBo
Uh, we can probably fast forward a little bit to summer game fest, basically E3 replacement.
02:12:34
Dick VanMeat
To Summer Game Fest?
02:12:39
DeeBo
Yeah. The key leaves. I can kind of pick out some, I thought mortal shell too. Look interesting.
02:12:45
Dick VanMeat
I thought there were there was a there's a blur in my head of the first half, and it was not was just nine fucking Souls-like games that I'll never play.
02:12:54
Dick VanMeat
like there's just I just don't fucking care.
02:12:57
Dick VanMeat
There's so many of them now.
02:12:57
DeeBo
right Dude, we need to kill. ah yeah I'm saying it. I am so ready for this era to be over where everybody just tries to make that game.
02:13:09
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. Because it's like...
02:13:10
DeeBo
um Granted, I thought Mortal Shell 2 actually looked like they were it was a departure from that. Yeah. Yeah.
02:13:16
Dick VanMeat
People really like Black Myth Wukong, but then they fucking posted that fucking Sword Loser fucking message when they didn't win the game awards.
02:13:24
Dick VanMeat
Like, it matters. Like, why does that matter to them so much?
02:13:27
DeeBo
Actually, listen, you know what I did like?
02:13:28
Dick VanMeat
Like, Jesus Christ.
02:13:29
DeeBo
You know what I appreciated? ah They showed the trailer for Sonic Racing Cross Worlds. And the guy comes up and he's like, hey, just so you know, unlike that other kart racing game, this is going to have cross play.
02:13:42
DeeBo
And I was like, I love that Sega's still keeping it.
02:13:45
DeeBo
They're still throwing the shade because they're Sega.
02:13:49
Dick VanMeat
It's that Mad Men meme were where the guy's in the elevator with yeah but John Abbott.
02:13:52
DeeBo
Yeah, I don't think about you at all.
02:13:54
werthersoriginal
Don't think about you at all.
02:13:56
Dick VanMeat
He's like, I don't think about you at all. And that's Nintendo.
02:13:59
werthersoriginal
You know what's funny about that team
02:13:59
Dick VanMeat
That's Nintendo.
02:14:01
werthersoriginal
It's because Don really does care about what he has to say.
02:14:03
Dick VanMeat
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
02:14:05
werthersoriginal
and it's been used for the opposite... prayer i don't know.
02:14:08
DeeBo
the message has been well.
02:14:08
Dick VanMeat
it's a Yeah. Because that did get under Don's skin.
02:14:09
DeeBo
Well, listen, and and really kind of the point of.
02:14:13
werthersoriginal
It totally got under down.
02:14:15
werthersoriginal
Totally. Totally.
02:14:16
DeeBo
But the โ and I guess the point of the trailer itself is like they're like, hey, we are basically doing the Smash Bros. cart. Like we're going to add different franchises from, you know, they and they're it's going to in this cart racing mode.
02:14:29
Dick VanMeat
it's gonna be big daddy for Bioshock it's gonna be fucking Alduin you're gonna be able to drive a cart with Alduin from Skyrim
02:14:34
DeeBo
Fuck it, dude. Fuck it.
02:14:40
DeeBo
Yeah. ah I think we hit a bit of a standout. So ah new characters are Marvel Cosmic Invasion, She-Hulk, and Rocket Racket. I know, that game just looks dope.
02:14:50
DeeBo
I love that little beat-em-up. New Onimusha trailer.
02:14:54
werthersoriginal
Man, you're just skipping right over Dinkum.
02:15:00
werthersoriginal
Well, first of all, I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, and you guys are probably going to even insult me, but I think Dinkum is probably my sleeper of the year.
02:15:10
werthersoriginal
Oh, wow. I expected a lot worse from that. You guys are handling this a lot better than I thought. I'm a Dinkum boy.
02:15:18
Steve-O
I'm writing a very inflammatory YouTube comment about you.
02:15:24
werthersoriginal
I knew it.
02:15:25
werthersoriginal
I fucking knew it.
02:15:26
Dick VanMeat
Dude, that mixtape that mixtape game looks kind of cool.
02:15:29
DeeBo
That does look good.
02:15:30
Dick VanMeat
i might I might play that.
02:15:30
DeeBo
ah Chris, did you see the the the puppet boxing game trailer?
02:15:37
Steve-O

werthersoriginal
What is that here?
02:15:43
DeeBo
ah I posted a link. called Games Recap 2025.
02:15:46
werthersoriginal
I see is burn band.
02:15:49
Steve-O
are you always supposed to burn ban?
02:15:51
werthersoriginal
It's just a bunch of random shit. I know what any of this is.
02:15:54
DeeBo
It's all the trailers.
02:15:55
werthersoriginal
Mugenics?
02:15:57
Steve-O
Mugenics is ah by the team that did, ah what's it called?
02:16:01
Steve-O
ah The Binding of Isaac.
02:16:04
werthersoriginal
Okay. Okay, that makes sense.
02:16:06
werthersoriginal
The look.
02:16:06
DeeBo
Listen, there's a, Chris, there's a boxing, like a Punch-Out-esque game with puppets, like like Muppets.
02:16:16
DeeBo
And I don't, this trailer's pretty great. He's like, I mean, i just posted it I just posted it so you don't have to dig for it.
02:16:20
werthersoriginal
I'm looking for it. I don't see it here.
02:16:21
Steve-O
He just posted it.
02:16:24
DeeBo
But, ah you know, there's a filter if you want to go actually like crazy on this website. But, oh, man.
02:16:30
Steve-O
Where's the good game filter?
02:16:33
werthersoriginal
Dinkum's on that list, so I don't know what you're talking about.
02:16:35
Steve-O
ah There you go. think um
02:16:37
DeeBo
Listen, there's that game. and then it kind of just turned into indie slop. Like, this is a nice way.
02:16:44
Steve-O
There's a lot of indie slop.
02:16:46
DeeBo
like I'm not saying this, be but, like, it just turned... It was indie slop. And then...
02:16:50
werthersoriginal
This game looks ridiculous.
02:16:51
DeeBo
Yeah, and then there was Mixed Meat, which I do think is a standout.
02:16:52
werthersoriginal
This game looks full.
02:16:55
DeeBo
And then it was, like, more indie slop. Like, again, I'm not trying to be a dick, but... ah
02:17:01
Steve-O
Hey, Devin, Mina the Hollower.
02:17:03
DeeBo
You know... Yes, Mina the also indie slop.
02:17:06
Dick VanMeat

02:17:08
Steve-O
There's a demo out already for it.
02:17:09
werthersoriginal
All the words.
02:17:11
DeeBo
Dude, I kick-started that game. It's the only thing I've ever kick-started in my life.
02:17:14
Dick VanMeat
It's going to mid. You mean mid-the-hollower?
02:17:16
Steve-O
Dude, Devin, I'm not going lie. I've been licking my chops thinking about making that my counter pick. And the second I saw it, I was like, oh, I would have fucking died.
02:17:24
Steve-O
Oh, I would have fucking died.
02:17:25
Steve-O
That looks beautiful.
02:17:26
DeeBo
ah real quick Somehow Hollow Knight Silk Song gets not only confirmed it's coming out, but still not confirmed it's coming.
02:17:36
Dick VanMeat
Still no date. There's still no date, right?
02:17:38
DeeBo
And I'm like, well, I'm sick. Cause I want to drop it so bad.
02:17:41
Dick VanMeat
Well, they're they're saying it's it's going to be out the day that fucking the fucking Xbox Ally comes out, right?
02:17:46
DeeBo
But it's like, what the, why can't we have a fucking date?
02:17:49
DeeBo
Oh my God. I'm so bad. Even though it's going to net me monster.
02:17:53
Dick VanMeat
Man, that...
02:17:54
Dick VanMeat
I mean, that that's going to be...
02:17:55
DeeBo
I it better be the,
02:17:57
Steve-O
You're going to get nice cool 85 from that.
02:17:57
Dick VanMeat
I don't know, dude.
02:17:59
DeeBo
i better get I need a 97, dude, to even get fucking close to where you're at, Steve.
02:18:04
werthersoriginal
Is there goddamn game coming out called Sand?
Street Fighter Character Speculations
02:18:07
DeeBo
Yeah, dude, you know what I'm saying, bro?
02:18:08
werthersoriginal
Are you kidding me? are you kidding me?
02:18:11
DeeBo
Listen, you know what I did think looks pretty dope, though? That game, Ill?
02:18:16
werthersoriginal
oh that did look cool. I actually saw the tail end of that.
02:18:18
DeeBo
With with're just, like, weird meat babies? i don't know really what.
02:18:22
werthersoriginal
yeah They did that they did that like ah GoPro cam of the meat baby crawling on the ground.
02:18:26
DeeBo
Yeah, yeah. they gave you I was like, oh shit.
02:18:28
werthersoriginal
Yeah, I was into that.
02:18:30
DeeBo
i'm like Because it almost looks like a physics simulation mixed with just meat babies, which is pretty dope. John, how do you feel about the year three DLC characters?
02:18:47
Dick VanMeat
Um, I mean, so I, and knew Balrog probably wasn't going to be out.
02:18:53
Dick VanMeat
Like at least, at least this soon, like just because they made Ed a boxer, you know, like they,
02:18:59
Dick VanMeat
you know, but I think it's cool. Like what kind of sucks is that the, the leaker was right. So, and that,
02:19:08
DeeBo
Oh, so it means just like, it's no, and you're never going to be surprised again.
02:19:12
Dick VanMeat
well, I mean, it's kind of weird because the the same leaker said Capcom versus SNK three is is, is in the works, which hasn't been announced yet. And also um also, he he also said Marvel versus Capcom four,
02:19:29
Dick VanMeat
but I don't know if he just got confused and thought that Marvel Token Souls Fighter, Souls Eater, was that or not.
02:19:38
Dick VanMeat
but um But yeah, the the characters are are interesting. So I was supremely disappointed last season's and announcements because they wasted two slots on Terry and Mai.
02:19:51
Dick VanMeat
Like they had two guest characters.
02:19:54
Dick VanMeat
So was kind of I was kind of pissed about that.
02:19:55
DeeBo
Even though mine is kind of an all-star generational win.
02:19:58
Dick VanMeat
Oh yeah, I mean, they're they're both actually really good in in the game. like They're there's they're ah good characters the good characters to play or whatever too.
02:20:05
Dick VanMeat
I just think it's like, why did we need two SNK guest characters? like you know like that could have been yeah That could have been Ibuki or it could have been Makoto or it could have been Feilong.
02:20:11
Steve-O
Do one for one season and then another for the next maybe.
02:20:18
Dick VanMeat
What I'm really excited about is well I'm glad that Sagat's back because it's Street Fighter.
02:20:26
Steve-O
Did they announce Cvipers back?
02:20:27
Dick VanMeat
in Street Fighter.
02:20:29
Steve-O
Dude, that's exciting.
02:20:30
Dick VanMeat
Did you see the...
02:20:31
DeeBo
Yeah, didn't you see Kenny Omega dressed up as vipers?
02:20:31
Dick VanMeat
Did you see the... track Yeah, Kenny Omega's dress is all four.
02:20:36
Dick VanMeat
And then Alex. Alex is kind of cool too, but ah he was in Street Fighter V, so like I was hoping that my main...
02:20:44
Steve-O
He was the first DLC in five.
02:20:47
Dick VanMeat
i hope my I was hoping my main Hugo was going to be a Street Fighter III character for this season. But it's not. I would have dropped Lily for Hugo all day.
02:20:58
Dick VanMeat
But, i mean, Alex probably going to be pretty cool, too. Like, Alex probably translates better to this Street Fighter 6 system than Hugo does.
02:21:04
Steve-O
how wigglier is thumbs gonna be
02:21:07
werthersoriginal
Ooh, need those Wiggly Bones.
02:21:07
Dick VanMeat
I hope they're pretty wiggly. His design is cool. Did you see the designs? He's got, like, a beanie.
02:21:11
DeeBo
yeah it's got like a hoodie on. or a Yeah, a beanie.
02:21:14
Dick VanMeat
He's got a beanie. Fucking Sagat's wearing his tiger's fucking...
02:21:18
Dick VanMeat
His dead tiger's fur. And, vi I mean, Viper looks viper looks great.
02:21:24
Dick VanMeat
um I'm excited to see Viper... in the game just and i but i hope that she's like hard to play like she was in street fighter 4 she was always like a hot a technical like high skill like player or character the weird one is ingrid so that's that's a weird one so she was never okay so she was in she was supposed to be in this game i think it was like in the 90s called capcom all stars or something which was supposed to she's like ah
02:21:44
DeeBo
I don't remember angry. What wouldn't what she.
02:21:57
Dick VanMeat
It was like a 3D game. Like a 3D fighter game. And she was supposed to be in that.
02:22:01
Steve-O
Yeah, that was like a PS2. Oh, okay.
02:22:03
Dick VanMeat
No it never came out. There's like footage of the game.
02:22:08
Dick VanMeat
But it got cancelled.
02:22:08
DeeBo
But it was like never released.
02:22:09
Dick VanMeat
It got cancelled. Yeah it was never released. So there's that. She was in the PSP version of Street Fighter Alpha I think.
02:22:17
Dick VanMeat
But she was in a. I think the game that she was actually in. Was Capcom. Fighting Evolution.
02:22:26
DeeBo
Yeah. which Isn't that like a terrible game?
02:22:26
Dick VanMeat
Let me look this up. It's a horrible game, and she was the main character in it. So... Um... So I think a lot of, like, the fighting game OGs just don't like her because of that.
02:22:43
Dick VanMeat
Uh... And then there's, you know, there's the fucking anime waifu gooners that are really excited because they get a new...
02:22:49
DeeBo
I sort of don't like her character.
02:22:49
Dick VanMeat
They have a new waifu.
02:22:50
DeeBo
I don't, yeah. I don't know. There's just...
02:22:54
Dick VanMeat
But she's supposed to be, like... her Her character is supposed to be, like... She's supposed to be, like... way more powerful than any of this than all of the street fighter characters combined like she's supposed to be like super powerful but this thing i saw which is really interesting because they showed they showed sagat's you know they showed the sagat animation which is kind of cool because he looked he's skinny he looks like he looks more like street fighter 2 well he looks like street fighter 2 sagat which is pretty cool i'm i'm down with that like i think that's pretty cool
02:23:19
DeeBo
He's a little skinny, yeah.
02:23:27
Dick VanMeat
ah instead of Instead of Fat Alpha Sagat.
02:23:29
Dick VanMeat
but But they show ah show this stage with the giant Buddha statue.
02:23:30
DeeBo
That's like the best glow up I've ever seen in my life.
02:23:37
Dick VanMeat
Apparently, in the ending, in Ingrid's ending in Capcom Fighting Evolution, she flies into space on that thing.
02:23:45
Dick VanMeat
Like, on that Buddha statue. Like, that's her spaceship or some shit.
02:23:50
Dick VanMeat
So, I think that's kind of cool if they like tie that in. Like, she flies it back. And that's how she comes back. but I don't know, like, I don't know how they're gonna, um, I mean, I don't know what she's gonna look like, because, like, ah right all the stuff that from the Capcom Fighting Evolution, just, she just kind of looks like a bad character, like, she just looks like, um,
02:24:11
werthersoriginal
Damn, Sagat lost so much weight.
02:24:13
Dick VanMeat
yeah, Ozempic Sagat, dude, fucking GLP-1 Sagat.
02:24:15
werthersoriginal
ah Original Sagat was seven foot tall and he weighed 262 pounds. This was Street Fighter 1.
02:24:26
Dick VanMeat
Oh, that Street Fighter won.
02:24:26
werthersoriginal
And then every other Street Fighter, he's seven foot five. minute
02:24:34
werthersoriginal
In Street Fighter Alpha, he's 240 pounds. And then Street Fighter 2 and then Street Fighter 4, 172 pounds. in Street Fighter 5, he's 216
02:24:44
werthersoriginal
and now in streetighter five he's two hundred and sixteen pounds
02:24:49
Dick VanMeat
Interesting.
02:24:51
Dick VanMeat
i glad Dude, I'm glad to see him back, though, because it's Saga, dude.
02:24:56
Dick VanMeat
You know? That's Sagat. Like, he's the king. Plus, he had like a... He's kind of had a redemption shit.
02:25:07
Dick VanMeat
So, if if this so they we got Akuma in season one. was the big bad. And then we got Bison last season. And now we got Sagat. maybe Balrog or Vega will be in the next one.
02:25:20
Dick VanMeat
Maybe that's that's what's going to happen in that next year.
02:25:23
werthersoriginal
Sagat is the fourth tallest character in the whole Street Fighter franchise behind T-Hawk, Hugo, and what's the last one?
02:25:29
Dick VanMeat
T-Hawk, T-Hawk's the tallest, right? Oh, Hugo, Abigail?
02:25:34
Dick VanMeat
What about Abigail?
02:25:34
werthersoriginal
You got it, John! Nailed it, buddy
02:25:36
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, absolutely Abigail's head goes over the, uh, the life bar.
02:25:41
Steve-O
You know your big boys.
02:25:42
Dick VanMeat
So, yeah, they they'll never bring Abigail back.
02:25:43
Steve-O
You know your Street Fighter big boys.
02:25:47
Dick VanMeat
Although, i I thought that they they wouldn't they wouldn't bring Elena back, but, yeah, I know, dude.
02:25:51
werthersoriginal
Abigail's eight feet tall.
02:25:56
DeeBo
That's obscene, dude.
02:25:58
Dick VanMeat
There's like a move in Street Fighter. I think when they brought Abigail back in Street Fighter 5 where like it was like standing medium punch or something like a normal move that didn't have a hitbox or something. It was she like he was like completely broken in that game. So I don't think they'll bring him back.
02:26:13
werthersoriginal
He likes bananas, huge cars, and death metal.
02:26:18
werthersoriginal
I love Wikipedia.
02:26:18
Dick VanMeat
What about Hugo? wait Wait, so what's the so it goes Abigail and then Hugo and then T-Hawk?
02:26:23
werthersoriginal
Yeah, yeah, i

werthersoriginal
think so. Let me check Hugo.
02:26:25
Dick VanMeat

02:26:27
werthersoriginal
i would imagine so.
02:26:27
Dick VanMeat
That's weird.
02:26:30
werthersoriginal
I can't always forget how short M. Bison is.
02:26:34
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, he's a fucking... so He's a stubby little fire hydrant, that little motherfucker.

werthersoriginal
He likes poison, potatoes, tag teaming, hot dogs, Chinese food in his mouth.
02:26:58

Dick VanMeat
ari Yeah, it's clearly RE Engine.
02:30:10
werthersoriginal
Instantaneous.
02:30:11
Dick VanMeat
But it could have been...
02:30:11
werthersoriginal
Instantaneous.
02:30:12
Dick VanMeat
But I was like, i was like it could be Dino Crisis. It could be something weird. But it's in the ah RE Engine. This is definitely a Capcom game.
02:30:18
werthersoriginal
Parasite Eve.
02:30:18
DeeBo

Dick VanMeat
They said that they said Grace is, was the main character of the trailer, but Leon is the protagonist of this game. They're saying am that's what reports are saying.

werthersoriginal
Just Carlos. Just Carlos.
02:33:26
Steve-O
Just monstrified Steve Bernstein?
02:33:28
werthersoriginal
I think Steve Burnside would be worse than Carlos.
02:33:29
Dick VanMeat

02:34:09
Dick VanMeat
So is Grace... Is Grace Ashcroft... Is she like a psychic or some shit? Like, does she... Is that why she works for the the FBI?

Dick VanMeat
Or... Or does she just have PTSD? She's got PTSD.

02:38:11
werthersoriginal
government nuked the city.
02:38:12
DeeBo

Yeah. The Rose DLC was something.
02:38:26
Dick VanMeat
Oh, so you hate you must hate Last of Us? So you hate Last of Us?
02:38:32

Steve-O
You think it's going to be first or third person?
02:38:40
Dick VanMeat
Nah, it'll be...
02:38:40
DeeBo
I think it's going be third person. Dude, you can't have Leon. Ew, Leon in first?
02:38:42
Steve-O
was Was Ethan the only first person protagonist for those games?
02:38:43
Dick VanMeat
Well, no, They switched the third person for the the Chris Redfield part in Village, right?
02:38:44
DeeBo
Ew, dude. Yeah, Ethan's the only first person. Well, not only, but...
02:38:52
DeeBo
No, no, that was...
02:38:53
Dick VanMeat
Was that first person, too?
02:38:54
DeeBo
Yeah, that was first person.
02:38:54
Steve-O
No, that the gold edition of 8, they added third person.
02:38:58
DeeBo
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the Gold Edition, there's a third person mode, but no. the It's just the DLC was strictly third person, right, Steve?
02:39:08
Steve-O
Yeah, we wanted the Chris Redfield part to be in third person, but they didn't. I remember talking about that when I came out.
02:39:14
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, so that's probably what I remember, us wishing it was in third person.
02:39:19
DeeBo
Yeah. But no, I'm just, yes, that was wonderful. And I'm very glad we got that.
02:39:30
Dick VanMeat
Dude, you you go through the fucking, are we are we going back to the police station, dude?
02:39:34
Steve-O
Dude, we're going back.
02:39:34
Dick VanMeat
That's what it looks like.
02:39:35
Steve-O
We're going back.
02:39:36
DeeBo
We'll go go back to the the ruins, I guess. But yes.
02:39:40
werthersoriginal
It's big hole.
02:39:43
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, but they show the hall the liquor hallway in the trailer.
02:39:47
Steve-O
It looks like the impact crater was where the Arclay woods were with the Spencer Mansion.
02:39:53
Dick VanMeat
So was Spencer Mansion it was where the is where they sent the nuke.
02:39:56
werthersoriginal
So that's completely cratered, but underneath.
02:39:58
Steve-O
That's cratered, but yeah under keep in mind, that lab went down.
02:40:00
Dick VanMeat
So this is basically going to be Chernobyl, and they're going to send Leon in here to just just get get fucking radiation.
02:40:08
Steve-O
that They might be giving us Fallout Leon. Like, it's going to have a Pip-Boy.
02:40:15
werthersoriginal
He's been there the whole time. Just hanging out.
02:40:17
Steve-O
Dude, at his age, just give him a fucking desk job, man.
02:40:20
Steve-O
Why the fuck is he going to these places?
02:40:22
Dick VanMeat
this is This is so cool.
02:40:22
werthersoriginal
I'm telling he's coming from blondes, man.
02:40:24
Dick VanMeat
This is so fucking cool that we're going back to Raccoon City, dude.
02:40:25
Steve-O
Does he have the Jill virus? Does he have the Jill virus too?
02:40:28
werthersoriginal
i keep getting older, but they stay the same.
02:40:28

02:40:31
Dick VanMeat
They never... um I guess they never went back to Raccoon City, huh?
02:40:36
DeeBo
i mean it was probably irradiated
02:40:36
Dick VanMeat
After 2. Or after after Nemesis. Yeah.
02:40:40
werthersoriginal
Which is like, I guess the question there too. It's still radiated like Chernobyl.

02:40:47
werthersoriginal
Hey, are you doing? I'm a here fishing. What would would you like to do?

02:44:15
Dick VanMeat
Yeah, I mean that vampires are in everything now.
02:44:16
DeeBo
It looks but looks good.
02:44:18
DeeBo
I'm just saying, you're basically medieval blade and white. Which does take a little bit out of it.
02:44:25
DeeBo
I'm not going to lie.
02:44:25
werthersoriginal
I do like this Terrifier trailer you showed me here, Devin.
02:44:28
DeeBo
Oh, yeah, yeah. the i Dude, this is what this fucking site's for. So I can find weird trailers for that.
02:44:34
werthersoriginal
I'm really happy that you can shoot a cop in the face with a shotgun in this game.
02:44:39
DeeBo
Yeah, it's pretty important that you can do that.
02:44:41
werthersoriginal
It's pretty cool.
02:44:42
DeeBo
um Was there anything? ProHawk? ProHawk. Tony Hawk. Oh, ah there's an invincible 3v3 fighter or 2v2 fighting game that is coming out too.
02:44:57
DeeBo
Which, I mean, it's not, yeah, they're not.
02:44:59
werthersoriginal
I guess that makes sense for that world.
02:45:01
Dick VanMeat
Oh, Invincible? Yeah.
02:45:03
DeeBo
Yeah, I mean, shit, why not?
02:45:04
Dick VanMeat
There's so many fighting games.
02:45:07
werthersoriginal
i Like, it does make sense, but yeah, it's oversaturated, right?
02:45:09
DeeBo
Good problem to have.
02:45:14
Dick VanMeat
I mean, this is what happened this is what happens when a good Street Fighter game comes out. It happened with 4, too.
02:45:18
DeeBo
Yeah, that's actually a really good point.
02:45:21
Dick VanMeat
Like, every time a good Street Fighter game comes out, everybody's like, let's lock in and we'll all make fighting games.
02:45:29
Dick VanMeat
Because we got Fatal Fury too. and then fucking But Mortal Kombat is still bad. So I don't know.
02:45:35
werthersoriginal
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
02:45:37
Dick VanMeat
don't know, Devin.
02:45:38
DeeBo
Yeah, probably not. um yeah Yeah. Again, I'm sure there's a a thousand games that we missed, but those are the big ones since the week started.
02:45:49
DeeBo
So yeah, those are the ones that jumped out.
02:45:49
Steve-O
Those are the ones that jumped out at us.
02:45:57
DeeBo
and Oh, ah there's no, that's pretty much it. ah There's a Death Stranding 2 game premiere tomorrow.
02:46:07
DeeBo
a VR summer showcase and a TBA Nintendo direct on this website. So, mean, probably not, but don't know. That's, that's it. I think that's the ah majority of of game stuff. There's some trailers, but this is very game centric week.
02:46:28
Dick VanMeat
Dude, Resident Evil, baby.
02:46:30
DeeBo
